Australia will host the men's T20 World Cup in 2022, two years later than originally scheduled, the International Cricket Council announced Friday.
India will remain hosts of the 2021 men's T20 World Cup in October-November, as planned, before staging the men's 50-over World Cup in 2023.
In addition, the women's 50-over World Cup, which was to be held in New Zealand from February 6 to March 7 next year, has been postponed to February-March 2022.
Future ICC events
2021 Men's T20 World Cup, October to November, India
2022 Women's ODI World Cup, February to March, New Zealand
2022 Women's T20 World Cup, dates TBC, South Africa
2022 Men's T20 World Cup, October to November, Australia
2023 Men's ODI World Cup, October to November, India
An "extensive contingency planning exercise" was completed by the ICC, which considered the "health, cricket and commercial impact of COVID-19 around the world".
"Over the last few months as we have considered how we return to staging global events, our number one priority has been to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in ICC events," said ICC acting chairman Imran Khwaja.
"The decisions the Board have taken today are in the best interests of the sport, our partners and importantly our fans.
"I’d like to thank our partners at the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket New Zealand as well as the Australian and New Zealand governments for their continued support and commitment to a safe return to ICC events."
