It is not a big hurdle for cricket Australia because they have everything under control and they can very well conduct the T20 World Cup as scheduled and Smith have already declared that he is willing to play the IPL if the T20 Word Cup is postponed. I hope they will conduct the tournament as scheduled rather than having IPL.

This is the latest update and schedule of Australian Home season. we were discussing this in Test thread in context of T-20 WC and IPL, this might able to give you some sort of answer about CA mindset.

Aus vs India Schedule

There is a gap between the T20I series and the test series, and I guess they have kept it so, to accommodate the T20 World Cup. So the BCCI is indirectly hinting that the T20 World Cup would go ahead as planned in November 2020 and the IPL 2020 would be postponed (or rather cancelled). It is not practical for the players (both Indian and Australian) to travel from Australia to India in mid-October (for the IPL) and then return again for the test series.

So this fixture list answers a lot of our questions.

This T-20 fixture got me confused, if we go by this schedule then IPL is definitely postponed for next year unless BCCI planning some action in mid Aug to Sep End window.

Australia got 1 month window for T-20 WC but can OZ players afford to play 4 months (Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan) back 2 back series continuously? I doubt that. We have to wait for official statement from the decision committee, if they decide giving final verdict for WC on Jun 10th. No decision on T20 WC yet as confidentiality issues grip ICC

I am disappointed that the Optus Stadium in Peth has been overlooked for hosting test matches.

I might add that now time has come Border-Gavaskar trophy deserves 5 Test Match series, not 4.
