To no surprise, the men's Twenty20 World Cup in October in Australia has been delayed for 12 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Cricket Australia cast doubt in May on the chances of it going ahead on schedule from Oct. 18 to Nov. 15.
It will be played in the
same months in 2021, the International Cricket Council said on Monday.
It was going to be risky to gather 15 other nations with different levels of the coronavirus in Australia, where the state of Victoria was currently under lockdown after a new surge in cases. Victoria is to stage the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The postponement has led to a reshaping of the men's international calendar in order to accommodate bilateral series which have been postponed everywhere since March except in England.
