Could India's remaining 2022 World Cup qualifiers be played at a centralised venue?

It seems like there is a real possibility that India's remaining three 2022 World Cup qualifying fixtures could be played at a centralised venue.

Given that the Coronavirus has affected each country on a different scale, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) would be considering holding the remaining matches at centralised venues in each of the groups.

It could well see matches in each group being played at one venue in one of the countries in that group. India are in Group E alongside Asian champions Qatar, Oman, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

China, who are in Group A alongside the likes of Syria, Philippines, Maldives and Guam, have already indicated that it might be the case.
