In the original calendar, India was scheduled to host the 2021 edition of the Twenty20 World Cup. The ICC did not specify the hosting order and a spokesman said the governing body was yet to finalise, between India and Australia, who will host which edition. The powerful Indian cricket board (BCCI) has resented a late call on the fate of this year’s World Cup, saying the uncertainty created a scheduling headache for the cricket boards already bruised by the pandemic’s financial impact. The BCCI has also been open about its plans to stage its delayed Indian Premier League Twenty20 competition in the now-vacant October-November slot.
“Our members now have the clarity they need around event windows to enable them to reschedule lost bilateral and domestic cricket,” Sawhney said. The governing body also moved the 2023 ODI World Cup in India to an October-November window from its original February-March slot. “Moving the World Cup to a later window … gives us a better chance of maintaining the integrity of the qualification process,” Sawhney added. “This additional time will be used to reschedule games that might be lost because of the pandemic ensuring qualification can be decided on the field of play.” The ICC said it would continue to evaluate situation while preparing for the 2021 women’s 50-overs World Cup, which is scheduled in New Zealand from Feb. 6.
