Meanwhile, Ganguly has admitted that India no longer remains an option to host the event with a Sri Lanka tour lined up and the difficult dealings with quarantine that will come long. New Zealand is scheduled to play thee T20Is and as many ODIs against Pakistan in the same period in the UAE. South Africa is in line to play India for 3 T20Is and as many ODIs in India as a precursor to the T20 World Cup. This leaves only West Indies and Australia, who have space to make adjustments as they have an open window in September. While Australia is set to host Sri Lanka for three T20Is, the series will be played closer to the T20 World Cup, leaving them with a free space in this window.
