The T20 World Cup is likely to begin in Oman in the third week of October, after the Final IPL, is scheduled to be in mid-October.
TimesviewIndia currently works better in front of Covid than a few months ago.
The number of cases decreases every day.
But with the country it is still a very far distance from being fully vaccinated, the third wave can never be ruled out.
