International cricket
in 2020 | in 2021

The 2020–21 international cricket season is currently taking place from September 2020 to April 2021.[1][2] Currently, 29 Tests, 49 One Day Internationals (ODIs), 50 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), 17 Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and 21 Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is) are scheduled to be played during this period. Additionally, a number of other T20I/WT20I matches are scheduled to be played in minor series involving associate nations. The season started with Australia leading the Test cricket rankings, England leading the ODI rankings, Australia leading the Twenty20 rankings, and Australia Women leading the Women ODI and Women Twenty20 rankings.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued into the 2020–21 international calendar. The 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia and the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand were both postponed for a year.[3][4] In addition, multiple ICC qualifying events, tournaments, and bilateral series were either cancelled, postponed, or cut short as a result of the pandemic. Many of the bilateral tours formed part of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) and the World Cup Super League. As a result of disruptions to the WTC, on 19 November 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) revised the ranking criteria for the WTC so that teams are ranked according to the percentage of points earned instead of total points.[5] In December 2020, the ICC announced a revised schedule for the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process, as a result of numerous postponements.[6] Postponed fixtures included the Cricket World Cup League 2 matches scheduled to be played in Namibia and Nepal,[7] and the Cricket World Cup Challenge League series originally planned to be played in Malaysia.[8]

International women's cricket started with the first WT20I between Australia and New Zealand, with Australia winning by 17 runs.[9] Australia won the WT20I series 2–1,[10] and then went on to win the WODI series between the two teams 3–0.[11] With their 3–0, the team recorded 21 consecutive wins in the format, equalling the men's record set by Ricky Ponting's team of 2002–03.[12]

International men's cricket started with Zimbabwe's tour of Pakistan, with Pakistan winning the first ODI match by 26 runs.[13] In January and February 2021, South Africa toured Pakistan for the first time in fourteen years, playing two Tests and three T20I matches.[14] During the tour, Pakistan became the first men's team to win 100 T20I matches.[15] The third match in the Test series between England and India lasted two days and was the shortest match in terms of balls bowled (842) since January 1935 and had the lowest aggregate runs scored in a completed match (387) since March 1946.[16] The league stage of the WTC concludes in this season with India and New Zealand qualifying for the final. Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are scheduled to play their first Test matches against each other this season.[17]

Disruptions caused by COVID-19 edit

In July 2020, the men's 2020 Asia Cup, scheduled to be held in September 2020, was postponed until June 2021.[18] The 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in October and November in Australia, was postponed by one year due to the pandemic.[19]

In August 2020, the West Indies tour of Australia was postponed,[20] along with India's T20I fixtures against Australia.[21] Also in August 2020, the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, scheduled to be held in February 2021, was postponed by one year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] On 7 August 2020, England's ODI and T20I matches against India was rescheduled to take place in early 2021.[23] Bangladesh's tour to Sri Lanka, originally scheduled to be played in July 2020, was moved to October 2020.[24] On 28 August 2020, Pakistan's planned tour to South Africa was also postponed.[25] However, in October 2020, the tour was rescheduled to take place in April 2021.[26]

In September 2020, it was confirmed that the 2020 edition of the Women's Asia Cup, scheduled to be played in Bangladesh,[27] had been cancelled as well.[28] Also in September, Cricket Australia confirmed that the one-off Test match against Afghanistan, and the limited-overs series against New Zealand had both been postponed due to the pandemic.[29] On 28 September 2020, Bangladesh's planned tour to Sri Lanka was postponed for a second time, after both cricket boards could not agree on the quarantine requirements.[30]

In November 2020, Ireland and Scotland women's planned tour to Spain was the next series to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, after Scotland withdrew from the series.[31] In December 2020, England's ODI matches against South Africa were postponed following a COVID-19 outbreak.[32] On 31 December 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that the India women's tour of Australia, scheduled to take place in January 2021, had been postponed by one year.[33]

In January 2021, Ireland were scheduled to play four ODIs in the UAE against the hosts. However, two matches were cancelled following a COVID-19 scare within the UAE's team, resulting in the tour schedule being changed on multiple occasions.[34]

Disruption continued into February 2021, with Australia's planned tour of South Africa being postponed,[35] and Pakistan women's tour of Zimbabwe being cut short after one match, following flight restrictions from Harare to Pakistan.[36] Rounds six and seven of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament, scheduled to take place in Oman and Papua New Guinea respectively, were also postponed.[37]

The 2020 international cricket season took place from May to September 2020.[38][39] 15 Test matches, 49 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 40 Twenty20 International (T20Is) were scheduled to be played during this period, as well as 8 Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and 9 Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is). Additionally, a number of other T20I/WT20I matches were also scheduled to be played in minor series involving associate nations. The season started with Australia leading the Test cricket rankings, England leading the ODI rankings and Australia leading the Twenty20 rankings.[40]

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact on international cricket fixtures with several ICC qualifying events and bilateral series being cancelled or postponed.[41] In June 2020, the ICC made several interim changes to the Playing Conditions due to the pandemic. A substitute could be used for any player showing symptoms of COVID-19, but only in a Test match.[42] Players were banned from using saliva to shine the ball, with five penalty runs being awarded to the opposition for repeated transgressions.[43] The requirement to use neutral match officials was temporarily lifted, along with an increase to the number of DRS reviews a team can use, due to having less experienced umpires in a match.[44]

International men's cricket started with the first Test between England and the West Indies on 8 July 2020, with the West Indies winning by four wickets.[45] New Zealand's tour of the West Indies, also scheduled to start on 8 July 2020, was postponed after it clashed with the rescheduling of the West Indies tour of England.[46] South Africa's tour of the West Indies was also postponed due to the rescheduling of the England-West Indies series.[47] Ireland's tour of England, originally scheduled in September, was brought forward to 30 July 2020, after the ECB gave the go ahead for the series.[48] The fixture was also the first match in the 2020–23 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League tournament, with England beating Ireland by six wickets.[49] The ICC began the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches in the World Cup Super League.[50] The ICC also started to trial the technology for the first time in a Test match, during Pakistan's Test series against England.[51] Australia's tour to England, originally scheduled to take place in July, was moved back to September, following the rearranged series between England and Ireland.[52] The only women's international cricket to take place was a five-match WT20I series between England and the West Indies. England Women won all of the matches, the first time they had won a bilateral series 5–0.[53]

Disruptions caused by COVID-19 edit

Bangladesh's matches against Ireland were postponed on 21 March 2020.[54] On 24 March 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that all ICC qualifying events scheduled to take place before 30 June 2020 had been postponed.[55] On 9 April 2020, Australia's tour to Bangladesh was postponed.[56] On 20 April 2020, South Africa's tour to Sri Lanka was also postponed.[57] On 22 April 2020, the Dutch government announced that it had banned all events in the country, both sports and cultural, until 1 September 2020.[58] Two days later, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that no professional cricket would be played in England before 1 July 2020, with tours by the West Indies and India's women both being postponed.[59] On 12 May 2020, the ICC confirmed that the 2020 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier, scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka, had also been postponed.[60] The ICC announced that the qualifier had been moved back to 2021.[61] Two days later, Cricket Scotland and Cricket Ireland confirmed the cancellation of summer fixtures, including New Zealand's tour against both sides and Pakistan's visit to Ireland.[62][63]

June and July saw further disruption to international cricket due to the pandemic. The ICC confirmed that the Scotland Tri-Nation Series and the Uganda Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament had both been postponed.[64] The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that it had called off their tours to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.[65] Scotland's one-off T20I match against Australia was cancelled,[66] New Zealand's tour to Bangladesh to play two Test matches was postponed,[67] and Bangladesh's tour to Sri Lanka to play three Test matches were all postponed.[68] The latter was later rescheduled to be played in October 2020.[69] On 30 June, Cricket Australia confirmed that their planned home series against Zimbabwe had also been postponed due to the virus.[70] On 8 August 2020, Afghanistan's planned tour to Zimbabwe for five T20I matches was called off.[71] Also in August 2020, the Netherlands tour to Zimbabwe was postponed,[72] and India's tour to South Africa was cancelled due to a clash with the rescheduled 2020 Indian Premier League.[73] Finally, the last scheduled series to be cancelled was the South Africa women's tour to England, which was due to take place in September 2020.[74]
