The T20 World Cup is one of the most anticipated events in the cricketing calendar, and with the tournament set to take place in India later this year, the excitement is palpable. However, England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has expressed his fears that the tournament could become a farce if the England vs Australia match is called off due to the stadium having a roof that is down the road.
The match between England and Australia is scheduled to take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on October 18th, and the stadium has a roof that is down the road. This means that if the weather is bad, the match could be called off, and Buttler is concerned that this could lead to a farce.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Buttler said: “It’s a bit of a farce if the roof is down the road. It’s a bit of a joke if the match is called off because of the roof being down the road. It’s a bit of a shame if that’s the case.”
Buttler’s fears are understandable, as the T20 World Cup is a major event and the match between England and Australia is one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament. If the match is called off due to the roof being down the road, it could lead to a lot of disappointment for fans and players alike.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has said that it is in contact with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure that the match goes ahead as planned. The ECB has also said that it is confident that the match will take place as scheduled.
However, Buttler’s fears are still understandable, as the roof being down the road could still lead to the match being called off. If this happens, it could lead to a lot of disappointment for fans and players alike, and it could also lead to a farce.
The T20 World Cup is one of the most anticipated events in the cricketing calendar, and it is important that the match between England and Australia goes ahead as planned. If the roof is down the road, it could lead to a farce, and this is something that Buttler is understandably concerned about.
