The ICC has revealed that the next T20 World Cup for men is hosted by UAE and Oman from 17th October to 14 November 2021. Originally this 7th edition of ICC’s tournament was supposed to take place in Australia but they backed off due Australian Government cancelling all International Events on their soil after Covid-19 hit land down under last year leaving many Aussies feeling unsafe at home or abroad including players who are currently touring England right now where there have already been two attacks
ICC held a video conference and announced that India will host the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup in October as planned. Australia retained its hosting rights for 2022, but after Covid-19 went out of control they shifted the venue to UAE or Oman depending on which country would be easier at a time when the situation is more stabilized (2020).
A group called International Cricket Council has been meeting over recent weeks concerning One Day International games; no decisions have yet been made about where these matches between countries might relocate if any world cup were ever cancelled again because we’ve seen this happen before with terrorism like nothing else can stop it!
The ICC announced the 2021 T20 World Cup schedule recently, and former winners were present to give an update on it. They consisted of Isha Guha (world champion), Denesh Karthik(runner-up), and Darren Sammy who won just two editions ago with West Indies in 2014.”
The T20 WC 2021 will be the 7th season of ICC’s prestigious tournament and a total of 16 teams will compete in it. All these players have been divided into 4 groups: West Indies Group A (including India), Australia B, Pakistan C & Bangladesh D who all play their one match Tuesday, June 11 at 10 am local time before they face off against another team from respective another group for advancing to next round Wednesday 12 pm
