The affairs of the host country, the safety of the players and the interest of the fans will also be taken into consideration.
The spokesperson said that in view of the changing situation around the world due to the corona virus, the ICC is in touch with various governments and other partners to ensure that cricket events are held while safeguarding the health of everyone.
