Due to the coronavirus pandemic, almost all major sports events have either been cancelled or postponed as a precautionary measure by the organisers.

The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League was postponed indefinitely by the Board of Control for Cricket in India after the nationwide lockdown in the country was extended till May 17 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BWF also shifted the World Championships, which was scheduled for August next year, to November-December 2021 in a bid to avoid a possible clash with Tokyo Olympics.

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was postponed by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
