T20 World Cup will lose charm if held behind closed doors: Imam-ul-Haq

I personally feel, if it happens, should take place with crowds.

Lahore: Pakistan batsman Imam-ul-Haq feels cricket matches, including the T20 World Cup should be played in front of spectators as the charm is not quite there if it is held behind closed doors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works of all sports & there have been talks of resuming cricket behind closed doors once the situation gets better.

The T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in Australia from October 18 2020 to November 15 2020 but the fate of the tournament remains uncertain with some suggesting it be conducted behind closed doors.

I personally feel T20 World Cup, if it happens, should take place with crowds as its charm is something else for players and everyone involved.

Imam told reporters in a video conferencing chat facilitated by Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday.

But this will be decided by ICC and we will respect that. Let's hope for the best. We also need to ensure players and crowd safety. said the 24-year old left handed batsman.
