“(If the T20 World Cup gets cancelled) then we’ll try everything to stage the IPL. it’s vital for Indian cricket. we’ll attempt to host it in India,” said Ganguly.

“The cancellation of T20 World Cup will happen soon because all countries are posing for a direction from ICC. We’ll know by mid-July. My gut-feeling is saying it’s tough.”

I’d say it’s unlikely, while it hasn’t been formally called off this year or postponed, trying to urge 16 countries into Australia within the current world where most countries are still browsing Covid-19 spiking is extremely , very difficult,” he had said.
