The event was attended by Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Emirates Cricket Board Chairman and Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, Khalid Al Zarooni, ECB Vice Chairman and Board Member, Asian Cricket Council, Jay Shah, Secretary of BCCI, Geoff Allardice of ICC, and other officials.
The 16-nation tournament – to be held in the UAE and Oman – will begin on Oct.17 with Oman taking on Papua New Guinea in the opener followed by an evening match between Scotland and Bangladesh in round one of the competition.
The tournament, which will be hosted by the BCCI, was originally meant to take place in Australia at the end of 2020. But it was called off as the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe.
It was meant to be held in India this year but was moved to the UAE and Oman after the South Asian giant was hit by a massive surge in virus cases in April and May.
