The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to administer the seventh edition of Men’s T20I World Cup from October 17 in the United Arab Emirates and Oman with the BCCI being the hosts of the tournament. It was originally scheduled to be played in 2020 in Australia from 18 October to 15 November but due to the Coronavirus outbreak, ICC postponed it and gave the hosting rights to India. However Australia will host the next edition which is set to be played next year. 

The United Arab Emirates and Oman have been chosen as the venues to host the whole tournament considering the number of coronavirus cases in India and the possibility of a third wave of the pandemic in the upcoming months. UAE and Oman will share the preliminary round of the tournament.
