Muto warned that there was no guarantee that the Games would be able to take place in the summer of 2021.
IOC President Thomas Bach said last month that the postponement of the Olympics will cost the IOC over $800 million.
The postponement of the T20 World Cup also means that the October-November window will be empty and the BCCI might sense an opportunity to conduct IPL.
The IOC AC is composed of a maximum of 23 members (12 members directly elected by their peers and a maximum of 11 appointed), who serve a term of eight years.
The announcement of the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics was made by the IOC and the organising committee last week.
The Olympics was originally scheduled to be held from July 24 to August 9 this year.
With the Tokyo Olympic Games rescheduled to the summer of 2021, Beijing 2022 organisers have said they will evaluate the impact of the new dates.
The new dates for the Tokyo Olympic Games will not allow the 2021 World Championships -- scheduled to be held from August 6 to 15 -- to take place as planned.
The Games were earlier scheduled to be held between 24 July and 9 August 2020 but were forced to be postponed to 2021, in view of the threat posed by COVID-19.
