T20 World Cup: India to Host 2021 Edition while Australia Gets Rescheduled 2022 WC; Women's World Cup Postponed By a Year
India are set to host the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 while Australia will be hosting the following edition of the tournament in 2022. Also, the ICC Women’s World Cup 2021, which was slated to take place in New Zealand, has been rescheduled to 2022. All these major decisions were taken in the recent meeting of the International Cricket Council. The 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup, which eventually got postponed due to COVID-19 crisis, was scheduled to take place in Australia.
Some speculations were that ICC will transfer the hosting rights of 2021 T20 World Cup from India to Australia. However, the tournament in India hasn’t been tinkered as Australia will now host the 2022 edition of the marquee tournament.
The decision was taken at the conclusion of meetings in Dubai, where officials met to find a solution after hours of discussion. The announcement put an end to many speculations which were doing the rounds of the tournament.
