The International Cricket Council postponed its upcoming board meeting in Doha, Qatar, citing the escalating military conflict and instability in the Middle East.
The meetings, originally scheduled for March 25 to 27, will tentatively be moved to April. The governing body stated it has not yet finalized a new date or location. The ICC selected Doha as the host city on February 22, a move intended to build relations with Qatar and utilize its expanding sports infrastructure.
Following the postponement of the Doha summit, several top ICC executives and board members gathered in Ahmedabad, India, for Sunday's T20 World Cup final. The championship match took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the home venue of ICC Chairman Jay Shah.
Officials present for the final included New Zealand Cricket Chairman Roger Twose, Zimbabwe Cricket's Tavengwa Mukuhlani, and South Africa's Dr. Mohammed Moosajee.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Aminul Islam did not attend the gathering, as he is currently in Melbourne with his family. Media reports stated Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi was also unlikely to attend the match.
