Is T20 World Cup 2026 under threat due to Nipah virus? Aus, Eng boards reportedly raise concerns

With the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 drawing closer, fresh concerns have emerged over the tournament scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka. Reports of a Nipah virus outbreak in West Bengal have sparked questions around player safety and travel, especially with Kolkata set to host six matches, including a marquee semifinal. According to multiple media reports, the England and Australia cricket boards have reportedly raised concerns about travelling to India amid the health scare. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has firmly dismissed claims that the World Cup is under threat, reiterating that the situation is being closely monitored by health authorities. Nipah virus outbreaks are not new to West Bengal, with sporadic cases reported in the past. In the latest development, two female nurses tested positive and were placed in isolation. Health officials have confirmed that all close contacts were tested and returned negative results, easing immediate fears. Is the concern justified—or is it another case of pre-tournament panic?
