Shane Burger: T20 World Cup postponement 'would make sense'

Scotland want to win, not just compete - Burger

Postponing this year's T20 World Cup in Australia "would make sense", says Scotland head coach Shane Burger.

Scotland have qualified for the event which is due to run from 18 October to 15 November.

But with Melbourne - one of the host cities - in a six-week lockdown because of a rise in coronavirus cases, a postponement is likely.

"To get 16 teams coming into a country with fans, it just seems very unrealistic," said Burger.

"Just looking where some of the other countries are with their infection rate and where they are going, it is not looking good.

"That probably means the tournament is going to be postponed - rightly so. Do you want to play a World Cup event with no crowd, when you are not able to give your team-mates and a big high five or a hug when he gets a wicket">
