The Pakistan team is awaiting last minute clearances to fly to India for the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ICC+World+Twenty20">ICC World Twenty20</a>. The country has asked for a public assurance that its players and spectators would be safe in India. This also saw the March 19 Indo-Pak match being shifted from Dharamshala to Kolkata. 
 
Hoping everything works out just fine, this edition of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ICC+World+Twenty20">​ICC World Twenty20</a> promises a lot of excitement.

Young and promising all-rounder <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Pawan+Negi">Pawan Negi</a> came off as a surprise this time. 23-year-old <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Pawan+Negi">Negi</a> bowls left-arm spin and can bat if necessary. His consistency in the domestic cricket scene might have offered him this chance. Other youngsters Jasprit Bhumrah and Hardik Pandya earned their place after their brilliant performance in Australia. However, pacers Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were ignored. So was batsman Manish Pandey.

BCCI gears up for 2016 ICC World T20, forms organising committee

A day after the Indian cricket board said that it will not be able to host the <keyword id="44040" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup">T20 World Cup</keyword>, the International Cricket Council (ICC) issued a statement confirming that the multi-nation tournament will be held in the United Arab Emirates (<keyword id="6358356" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="uae">UAE</keyword>) and <keyword id="62607" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="oman">Oman</keyword> from October 17 to November 14. "The <keyword id="6354756" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci">BCCI</keyword> will remain the hosts of the event, which will now be held in Dubai International Stadium, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the Sharjah Stadium, and the Oman Cricket Academy Ground, from 17 October to 14 November 2021," said a statement from ICC. The initial stage of the tournament will likely be held in Oman and a venue in UAE soon after the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 ends in the country. "Our priority is to deliver the ICC Men's T20 <keyword id="22177" type="SPORT" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-cup">World Cup</keyword> 2021 safely, in full and in its current window. Whilst we are incredibly disappointed not to be hosting the event in India, the decision gives us the certainty we need to stage the event in a country that is a proven international host of multi-team events in a bio-secure environment. We will work closely with the BCCI, the Emirates Cricket Board and Oman Cricket to ensure fans can enjoy a wonderful celebration of cricket," said Geoff Allardice, the acting ICC CEO, in a statement. The president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sourav Ganguly, said that the Board would have been happier hosting the tournament in India. "We would have been happier hosting it in India but considering the uncertainty due to the Covid-19 situation and the importance of a world championship, the BCCI will now continue to host this tournament in UAE and Oman," said Ganguly.

"Some of my fondest cricketing memories have come from playing at the T20 World Cup, including hitting six sixes in an over, so it's very exciting to be part of this edition, which is set to be the biggest one yet," Yuvraj, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2007 champion, said in an official statement. Yuvraj was named Ambassador with 36 days to go in celebration of his six sixes in an over during India's successful Men's T20 World Cup 2007 campaign. "The West Indies is a great place to play cricket with the fans coming to watch creating a vibe that is completely unique to that part of the world, while cricket is also expanding in the USA and I'm excited to be part of that growth through the T20 World Cup," he added.

"It's an honour to have Yuvraj as an ICC Men's T20 World Cup Ambassador.

India legend Yuvraj Singh named ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 ambassador

India skipper <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> did concede after the 10-wicket thrashing at the hands of Pakistan in an <keyword id="117722" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC-T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">ICC T20 World Cup</keyword> 'Super 12' game here that the "high-intensity" Indian Premier League 2021, which concluded here recently, did take a toll on the players and the week-long break before the next game will do his side a world of good. Compared to the enthusiasm shown by the Indian players for their respective IPL franchises recently, Virat's boys looked jaded and listless as they went about their opening match against the arch-rivals nowhere near their best, with their express pace bowlers barely managing military medium, compared to the likes of Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf who bowled their hearts out on Sunday night. Asked, how does he see the week-long gap between the opening 'Super 12' game against Pakistan and the next assignment against New Zealand on October 31, Kohli said during the post-match press conference that, "I think it works really well for us from all point of views. Knowing that we have played a full-fledged season already, we played the IPL, which is very high octane by itself in testing conditions here in the UAE, and then we come into the World Cup. So for us these big breaks are definitely something that's going to help us as a team to be in the prime physical condition that we need to be to play this high-intensity tournament. "<keyword id="44040" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">T20 World Cup</keyword> is always a high-intensity tournament, and it will help us, again, to regroup as a team to get to the practice sessions eager to execute the things that we want to, prepare in a very confident manner and then arrive on the day again to make sure that this time we execute our plans, and we have enough confidence in our ability that with this preparation time, we'll come out once again being in a positive frame of mind. For us as a team personally I can say it's a good thing that's happening. We'll have time to reflect and to prepare again," added Kohli, who will be stepping down as T20 captain after the World T20 assignment. Losing the toss, Kohli said, was crucial as the team batting second got a little more advantage, with the dew making it easy for the Pakistan batters to rotate strike. Expressing his frustration with the conditions, Kohli said, "The more dew came in towards the second half of the Pakistan innings, 10 overs onwards, and the wicket will rotate strike. We could not even get dot balls in because the pitch was obviously providing a big pace for the batsman to work with. The slower balls were not holding up as much. "These small little factors, as I said, it did make a massive difference, and as a team you need to understand what was the reality of the situation out there in the middle, and that's where those 20, 25 extra runs would have been good, but brilliant bowling in the first six (overs by Pakistan) did not allow us to get those extra runs."

ICC World T20: Watch what the Indian cricket team has to say to its fans

The <keyword id="46227" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="international-cricket-council" source="Orion">International Cricket Council</keyword> (<keyword id="6355164" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC" source="Orion">ICC</keyword>) on Thursday confirmed that it will replace '<keyword id="10878" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="batsman" source="Orion">batsman</keyword>' with gender-neutral term '<keyword id="55002" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Batter" source="Orion">batter</keyword>' in all its playing conditions, starting with this month's men's <keyword id="44040" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="Orion">T20 World Cup</keyword>, scheduled to be played in UAE and Oman. In September, the Marylebone Cricket Club announced it would be replacing the word 'batsman' with 'batter' in the Laws of Cricket. That change will now be reflected across all ICC playing conditions going forward. The ICC said over the past four years it has been moving away from the word "batsman", with "batter" implemented regularly in commentary and across the organisation's channels. ICC acting CEO Geoff Allardice said the MCC's decision to move to ‘batter' in the Laws of the game was one they 'welcomed'. "The ICC has been utilising the term batter for some time now across our channels and in commentary and we welcome the MCC's decision to implement it into the Laws of cricket and will follow suit with our playing conditions that are derived from the Laws," Allardice said in a statement. "This is a natural and perhaps overdue evolution of our sport and now our batters are gender-neutral in the same way as bowlers, fielders and wicket keepers," he added. Allardice also said that it's a small change but one that will have a significant impact on cricket being viewed as a more inclusive sport. "Of course language changes alone will not grow the sport, we must ensure that girls and boys who are inspired to play cricket have a fantastic, fun first experience and are both able to progress as cricketers without barriers," he said. For ICC Hall of Famer and former Australia star Lisa Sthalekar the move to 'batter' is a simple but important one in growing a sport that truly is for everyone. Unaware cricket was a sport played by women as a child, Sthalekar went on to become one of the finest players Australia has ever produced before making the step into commentary. Having grown up using the term 'batter' as a player, she stuck to the word when she stepped behind the microphone and remembers being told by a co-commentator in one of her earliest gigs that "batter was for fish." "We don't say ‘hey look at that fieldsman', we say ‘look at the fielder'. We don't say 'bowlsman', we say 'bowler'," she said to icc-cricket.com following the MCC decision. "So if there is a similar term to describe someone with a piece of wood in their hands, why wouldn't we follow suit?" According to ICC, it's worth noting that up until this century, the phrase 'fieldsman' was the accepted term with the MCC stepping in in 2000. Nowadays, it would be hard-pressed to find anyone saying 'fieldsman'. Sthalekar is well aware even with the ICC and MCC both moving permanently to ‘batter' that 'batsman' will still be heard on occasion in the media. "It's like a habit, it takes forever to get rid of it,'' she said. Lisa's thoughts were echoed by Allardice, who described the move as a "common-sense change". "Why not take a small step to ensuring we're a sport that doesn't exclude 50 per cent of the world's population with outdated language choices. Whilst some may have made lots of noise against this common-sense change, the majority of people within the game have welcomed the move," he said.

In an unexpected twist of events, the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ICC">ICC</a> has announced they'll shift the March 19 World Twenty20 match from Dharmshala to Kolkata at the last minute due to 'security concerns'.

The tournament -- featuring 20 teams, including India -- is scattered across nine venues, six of them in the <keyword id="19921633" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="West-Indies" source="keywords">West Indies</keyword>. As of now, the threat, according to media reports, is specific to the West Indies, which aside from some preliminary matches, will be hosting the entire Super 8 stage along with the semifinals and the final on June 29. "Unfortunately, the threat of terrorism in its many and varied expressions is an ever-present danger in the world of the 21st century," Rowley was quoted as saying by 'Trinidad Daily Express' here. Rowley did not name any organisation but reports here stated that the Islamic State made the threat through its propaganda channel. The ICC responded to the development with a statement assuring preparedness. "Safety and security of everyone at the event is our number one priority and we have a comprehensive and robust security plan in place," a spokesperson of the global body said in a statement issued to PTI. "We work closely with authorities in our host countries and continually monitor and evaluate the global landscape to ensure appropriate plans are in place to mitigate any risks identified to our event." Rowley said "extra effort in national security preparations and response readiness" will be put in to neutralise the danger. "Given the fact that bad actors can choose to misbehave in any way possible, it makes it virtually impossible to completely seal off all opportunities," he said. "However, in order to ameliorate these dangers, we at the local and regional levels have remained alert to many threats and singularly or together have our intelligence and other security agencies working to protect the population in countries and at venues throughout the tournament," he added. The World Cup matches in the West Indies will be held in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago. The US leg will feature games in Florida, New York and Texas. New York will host the marquee India-Pakistan clash on June 9. Cricket West Indies said everything is being done to ensure foolproof security at the mega-event.
