ICC t20 world cup 2021 schedule
Initially, the tournament was scheduled to be held in Australia from October 18 to November 15, 2020. However, in July 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the tournament had been postponed to 2021. Then in August 2020, India was reaffirmed as the host of ICC T20 World Cup 2021 by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The International Cricket Council (ICC) took the final decision and confirmed that India’s BCCI will retain hosting rights for the Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 no matter where the event is played.
India’s big event IPL was suspended due to the very bad COVID pandemic situation in India but hopefully, BCCI will host the T20 World Cup 2021. A final decision on the T20 World Cup 2021 venue has already been taken and ICC confirmed that the tournament will be staged in the UAE and Oman.
