He said, 'How will you arrange the traffic of teams coming from all over the world. If they have to come here from other countries, what will be the rules regarding this? After this they will be quarantined and obviously it will cost a lot, so the budget will be much higher in the tournament to be held in February. Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa and India have qualified for the tournament. 8 teams will play in the round robin format and the top four teams will reach the semi-finals.
