Stupid idea. Send it to Australia. Packed stadiums, it will be a spectacle down under.

 

Final at the MCG packed with 100,000 at night would be awesome.

 

Who wants to watch cricket matches played all in empty stadiums. Commercially it makes sense to send it to down under.

For BCCI UAE is profitable I think than holding it in Australia.

Empty stadium?

 

Or packed in Australia with Indian supporter?

 

Australia is  far superior option.

 

Cricket will be the ultimate winner.

 

Plus Australia should be COVID free in December.

I think there are many things like logistics & stadium Cost etc that will come into play.  UAE is much cheaper & even poor boards like PCB managed to hold their games over there for many years.  Plus time zone is ideal as well..  Unlike Australia.

Australia would be more fun but as some one pointed, UAE looks easy.

Send it to Australia, the last few months we have seen massive crowds at stadiums.

 

Last weekend we had 100k at the MCG for the AFL football and 50k etc at the smaller grounds around of Australia.

Moving to Australia makes no sense, if that had to be done then just let Australia host it this time and we can next year.

So during corona you want stadium to be filled. Though there is no corona there bust still players travelling around the world and you want them to host matches in presence of full house.

[dilliboy]

Don't understand.. Wasn't Australia supposed to host it last year anyways... Why can't it be held there and the India one next year 

[WC2011INDIA]

How about cancelling the BS alltogether.

Exactly.  It was supposed to happen in Australia in 2020 itself. Why not just host the 2021 WC in Australia instead?

Your English is so poor I had trouble trying to decipher what you are really trying to say.

 

If cricketers come to Australia from overseas they will be placed in quarantine for 2 weeks, after which they will then play the world cup at various locations all around Australia inside a bubble as further measures to ensure everyone's safety.

 

COVID in Australia in May 2021 is basically non-existent.

That shows more about your English Angrez that you were unable to comprehend 4 line of simply put words. Is that how you get racially abused there on a daily basis? Bio secure bubble might not work with so much people present at stadium and also fans travelling around the world.

You don't need bio secure bubble in Australia. And doubt fans will be allowed in Australia. Anyway whoever is traveling just needs to quarantine for around 10 days. After that no need of any bubble  masks or anything.

 

Australia and New Zealand don't follow bubbles. Bubbles are to protect players from population and there is no covid in population in Australia. Quarantine is to protect people from travelers so quarantine is strictly followed 

 

Crowds are allowed, players can go out, meet people, no masks,  go shopping and to malls. Because there is no covid in Australia

Quarantine in Australia is strict, which is why Hitman couldnt play the Test series until he completed 14 days.

 

Bubbles will most likely exist for players, just to add an extra layer of protection for everyone.

 

Fans will be allowed to all the grounds, however, absolutely NO FANS from overseas allowed in Australia.

 

The grounds will be packed with Indian fans living in Australia.
