Melbourne, May 29: Cricket Australia on being asked about their preference if the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup doesn't go ahead, has said that it would want to hold the 2021 edition rather than getting hosting rights in 2022. The 2021 edition of the tournament is currently for India to host.

According to a report in The Australian, a letter from Cricket Australia chairman Earl Eddings was sent to ICC's Financial and Commercial Affairs Committee on Thursday calling for the tournament to be shifted because of issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The letter was written in response to International Cricket Council asking Cricket Australia which options were preferable if the board is not able to host the tournament this year.
