After numerous ICC meetings regarding the fate of the Men’s 2020 T20 World Cup, which was to be held in Australia, the event has been officially postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ICC announced today.

There had been speculation as to whether India or Australia would have the honours of hosting the next event, but fans are none the wiser at this stage as no decision has been made.

The windows for the Men’s events are:

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 will be held October – November 2021 with the final on 14 November 2021
