IPL suspension shows game's vulnerability, World T20 could be postponed or shifted: Ian Chappell

Chappell recalled a few incidents that led to the disruption of the game in the past.

Australian great Ian Chappell feels the suspension of IPL is a reminder of cricket's vulnerability and does not rule out the COVID-19 pandemic forcing a postponement or shifting of the upcoming T20 World Cup from India. earlier this week after four players - Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Wriddhiman Saha, Delhi Capitals spinner Amit Mishra and KKR's Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier - tested positive for COVID-19 in the bio-bubble. "The suspension of the 2021 IPL tournament because of surging Covid infections and deaths among the public, and a number of participants testing positive, was a reminder of the game's vulnerability," Chappell wrote in his column for 'ESPNcricinfo'.
