The BCCI would resist any attempt from the ICC to scrap the 2021 Champions Trophy in India, replacing it with a World T20 instead. Cricket board treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry said doing away with the Champions Trophy would result in a loss of approximately $30 million to BCCI coffers.

As the BCCI had advanced the 2019 edition of the IPL, to be played from March 29 to May 19, the ICC Chief Executives Committee meeting in Kolkata on Tuesday also agreed upon an altered itinerary for next year’s World Cup. As per the new schedule, India will play their first match against South Africa on June 5. Their match against Pakistan is scheduled for June 16. The Indian board advanced next year’s IPL to ensure a 15-day lay-off between the T20 league and the World Cup, in accordance with the Supreme Court directive. India will also play 19 home Tests during the 2019-2023 FTP cycle.

India will open their 2019 WC campaign against South Africa on June 5 and and square off against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 16.
