The ICC already has a committee of medical experts which also includes Dr Abhijit Salvi of BCCI, but it is understood that there could be some positive cases even if there is a bio-bubble.

We have a committee set up to look into any matters that may arise during the incident,” Allardyce said. “Any decision around matches will be taken by that committee and it is not going to be something that can be dealt with by the members as it can be done in bilateral cricket,” he said. 2 DRS referrals allowed per team during the event
Allardyce said there will be 2 DRs per team during the mega event.

Neutral umpires may be back soon, hints interim CEO
Meanwhile, the interim CEO of ICC also clarified that the cricket body will use neutral umpires wherever the situation allows.
In the post-COVID-19 world, ICC has used home umpires due to travel and logistical issues. “I think we have been able to officiate all our elite panel umpires and referees here in this tournament (ICC Men’s T20 World Cup), UAE is a country that is pretty straight forward to go in and out now.” Allardyce said on the same call. Allardyce said there are different restrictions in different countries and this is making it difficult. “The issue is in other countries, where there are different levels of sanctions, so our position has been, we will try to use neutral authorities, wherever circumstances permit.” In many countries, there are still sanctions that are that difficult and The dynamic makes the umpire even if the individuals are a little different from the team moments and we found that in the last few months,” he explained.
He also said that the home umpires have done very well in the last 18 months. “I think the umpires, the home umpires have done very well in the last 18 months and are supported by the DRS. But the aim is to bring back neutral officials, once those restrictions are lifted, so it could be more after this tournament, but a lot more country by country assessment,” he signed off.
