ICC: Decision on 2021 Women's World Cup in next two weeks

AUCKLAND: With the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponing the Men's T20 World Cup because of the COVID-19 pandemic, New Zealand Cricket chairperson Greg Barclay has stated that a decision on the 2021 Women's World Cup will be made in the next two weeks.

"The decision will be made in the next two weeks, it simply has to be because if there is a need to postpone that event then obviously we need to know that sooner rather than later," Barclay told Radio NZ.

"Likewise, if it is to go ahead then we need to make a final decision so that we can throw all the resources necessary to run a first-class world event in February."

The 50-over tournament, involving eight teams is scheduled to be run between February 6 and March 7 next year at six venues in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. IANS
