BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said the DDCA needed to procure all the necessary clearances by Sunday if they were to continue as the hosts of the March 8-April 3 tournament.
New Delhi's Ferozshah Kotla ground is in danger of losing its World Twenty20 fixtures after the BCCI moved a match against Sri Lanka away from the venue due to administrative lapses.
The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) failed to get the requisite clearances from various civic authorities in order to host the February 12 T20 match between India and Sri Lanka, forcing the BCCI to transfer the contest to Ranchi.
BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said the DDCA needed to procure all the necessary clearances by Sunday if they were to continue as the hosts of the March 8-April 3 tournament.
"As far as the World Cup is concerned, the World Cup management committee has met today and has also discussed the issue of DDCA," Thakur said.
"They have given a deadline of January 31, five o' clock, to come out with the required NOCs (no-objection certificates) so that they can continue as a host of the World Cup matches.
"If they are unable to do so by 31st evening, then the BCCI will shift those matches to the seven other remaining venues."
Delhi is scheduled to host four matches in the tournament, including a semi-final on March 30.
But this does not seem likely at all.
Every time Delhi was allotted an international match, Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) used their age-old practice of approaching the High Court to get all necessary permissions – albeit provisionally – citing "public interest".
DDCA acting president Chetan Chauhan yet again reached the HC premises last week with the hope of getting one more permission to hold the India-Sri Lanka T20 game in Delhi on February 12. But the division bench refused to entertain Chauhan's plea this time, asking DDCA "why necessary permissions have not been attained from the time of holding India-South Africa Test in the first week of December?"
Chauhan immediately withdrew his petition and then contacted BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur to inform him about the development, dna has learnt.
"We told BCCI officials that we will have all the compliance certificates ready for the World T20 but it will not be possible to get all clearances before February 12," Chauhan said.
