Earlier, after an IBC Board meeting on July 20, the cricket governing body announced that the 2020 edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup will be postponed and also marked a window for the three men’s competitions in 2021, 2022 and 2023. ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, 2021 is scheduled for October-November 2021, with November 14 final. The T20 World Cup 2022 edition will take place in October-November 2022, with a final on November 13. In October-November 2023, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, 2023, will be held in India, with the final on November 26, 2023.
“We now have full clarity about the future of ICC events allowing all of our Members to concentrate on the rescheduling of missed international and domestic cricket. We will now continue as scheduled with the 2021 Men’s T20 World Cup in India and host the 2022 edition in Australia,” said ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney.
The Men’s T20 World Cup format in 2021 will remain as it was in 2020, with all the teams qualifying to be part of the event in India in 2021 for the 2020 event. In 2022 a new qualification framework for the Men’s T20 World Cup will be in place.
Five teams had qualified for the originally scheduled competition in 2021, for the 50-over Women’s World Cup. The final three teams were to be determined through a qualifying competition expected to be played in Sri Lanka in July 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic. The qualifying event will now take place in 2021 with the ICC yet to agree on the dates.
“We took the decision to move the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup to give players from every competing nation the best chance to be ready for the world’s biggest stage and there’s still a global qualifier to complete to determine the final three teams,” Sawhney says.
“Since the conclusion of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year and due to the varying impact of COVID-19 globally, there has been no international women’s cricket played that is likely to remain the situation for a number of the teams. Moving the match by 12 months gives all participating teams the opportunity to play a reasonable cricket standard ahead of both the qualifying event and lead into a Cricket World Cup so that the tournament’s credibility is maintained, “he added.
