No International Cricket Council (ICC) member has asked for a change in the schedule for the Men's T20 World Cup, an ICC source said.

"Nothing has changed since the board meeting release and no member is asking for a date change as of now," news agency ANI quoted a source.

The ICC Board met on March 27 via teleconference to discuss the impact of the pandemic on the sport globally.

The Covid-19 took a huge toll on sports all across the globe as it has forced the postponement of several competitions including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

"The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place from 18 October - 15 November 2020 in seven venues across Australia. We are planning for the event to go ahead as scheduled," the statement added.
