The statement added that windows for the next 3 ICC men’s events the 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cups, and the 2023 World Cup had been agreed, with the latter moved to October to November 2023 to allow for a longer qualification period.

And it said the IBC Board (the commercial subsidiary of the ICC) would continue to evaluate the situation in relation to being able to stage the Women’s World Cup in New Zealand in February next year, with planning for that event continuing as scheduled in the meantime.

October-to-November windows were agreed for each of the men’s T20 World Cups over the next two years as well as the 2023 World Cup in India, with the dates for the finals given as November 14 next year, November 13, 2022, and November 26, 2023, respectively.

The statement said that the windows were agreed to “bring clarity to the calendar and give the sport the best possible opportunity over the next three years to recover from the disruption caused by Covid-19.”

It added: “The IBC Board agreed to continue to monitor the rapidly changing situation and assess all the information available in order to make a considered decision on future hosts to ensure the sport is able to stage safe and successful global events in 2021 and 2022.”

ICC chief executive Manu Sawhney said: “We have undertaken a complex and comprehensive contingency planning exercise and through this process, our number one priority has been to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in the sport.”

“The decision to postpone the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was taken after careful consideration of all of the options available to us and gave us the best possible opportunity of delivering two safe and successful T20 World Cups for fans around the world.

“Our members now have the clarity they need around event windows to enable them to reschedule lost bilateral and domestic cricket. Moving the men’s Cricket World Cup to a later window is a critical element of this and gives us a better chance of maintaining the integrity of the credentials process. This additional time will be used to reschedule games that might be lost because the pandemic ensuring credentials can be decided on the field of play.

“Throughout this process, we have worked closely with our key stakeholders, including governments, members, broadcasters, partners, and medical experts, to enable us to reach a collective decision for the good of the game and our fans. I would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment to a safe return to cricket.”
