The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2021, which was to be held in New Zealand, has been postponed until February – March 2022, because of the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on cricket globally.
The decisions were taken by the IBC (the commercial subsidiary of the ICC) following an extensive contingency planning exercise which has taken into account the health, cricket, and commercial impact of COVID-19 around the world.
ICC acting Chairman Imran Khwaja said, "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."
"The decisions that the Board has taken today are in the best interests of the sport, our partners, and importantly our fans," he added.
ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney said, "We now have absolute clarity on the future of ICC events, enabling all of our members to focus on the rescheduling of lost international and domestic cricket. We will now proceed as planned with the Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 in India and host the 2022 edition in Australia."
