England’s Eoin Morgan casts doubts on T20 World Cup going ahead as per schedule

England's white-ball captain Eoin Morgan has cast doubts on the T20 World Cup going ahead as per schedule, saying that hosts Australia would be wary of risking a second wave of coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Australia, who are scheduled to host the T20 World Cup from 18 October to 15 November, has been largely successful in containing the contagion by sealing their borders and imposing travel restrictions.

"I'd be surprised if it goes ahead," Morgan was quoted as saying by the 'Press Association'.

"My reasons for that would be if you look at how Australia has handled the pandemic, they've shut down the borders pretty early, had a limited number of cases and deaths in comparison to the rest of the world," he added.
