MUMBAI: The BCCI is reportedly all set to oppose the possibility of the ICC replacing the 2021 Champions Trophy in India with a World T20.  BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry told Indian Express he believes that the cancellation of the Champions Trophy would result in a loss of approximately $30 million to the world’s richest cricket board.
