Aaditya Thackeray’s googly to ICC: Why host T20 WC final in Ahmedabad and not Mumbai?

MUMBAI: (Nov 25) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday targeted the International Cricket Council (ICC) for choosing Ahmedabad in neighbouring Gujarat as the venue for the T20 Cricket World Cup, and alleged politics of favouritism.

In a post on X, Thackeray asked why Mumbai can’t be the venue for the T20 World Cup final to be held early next year.

Eight venues — five in India and three in Sri Lanka — will host the 55 matches of the tournament, the schedule of which was unveiled on Monday.
