This meeting received updates on contingency planning for all ICC global events, including the T20 World Cup, due to start next October, and next year’s women’s Cricket World Cup.

Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts stated cricket Australia was working closely with the ICC, the Australian government and local organizers to gain a “comprehensive understanding” of what it would take to host the T20 World Cup as it was planned before.
