seems unlikely that you would schedule a 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup both in India. so then India host 2021 T20 World Cup, and Australia host 2022 T20 World Cup?

Honestly, who the * knows anymore?

It's wacky enough to have T20 World Cups in consecutive years - they'll do whatever makes them the most cash.

To be honest I expected them to have two T20 world cups in 2021.

World t20 in 2021 will be played in India and in 2022 will be played in Aus. *.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Meh, franchise T20 is better than internationals.

Prediction correct.

It leaves bugger all time between the November 2022 end to the T20, and a February 2023 WC.
2022/23 could well be a very truncated Test series at home to cram in extra 50 over games. (Expect CA to cut the Shield to five matches that year, and never return it.) WI Test series might get cancelled due to overlap with T20 cup.

Plenty of other tours are scheduled by other nations in the October-November period that would be impacted, as will the New Zealand and South African summers - although the tail-end of those presumably was with the 2023 WC in mind already.
But that would be the case regardless, there aren't many spare windows to move anything to. The short turnaround between two different world cups could diminish the importance placed on one of them. Teams might end up choosing which to focus on without being able to do a proper build-up.

They've shifted the 2023 world cup to Oct/Nov. Will create challenges with weather though I'd imagine.

I missed that, or at least forgot about it.
India is OK for most of the year, at least most of India is, in terms of weather. They host series pretty often in November I think.

Full fixture list is out:

First round will be played in Geelong and Hobart. Australia are in a group with England, New Zealand, Afghanistan and then 2 teams that qualify from the first round. Their fixture as follows:

Fri 28 Oct v England @ Melbourne
Mon 31 Oct v Group B Runner Up @ Brisbane
Fri 4 Nov v Afghanistan @ Adelaide

 

[big_e]

Sri Lanka vs Namibia in Geelong is the very definition of a soft opening.

 

[ep2018]

Why would the ICC schedule any game in Perth right now. I know its October but you never know.

 

[brucetiki]

Who has Hobart as hosting the most T20 World Cup matches?

 

[eltrain]

India v Pakistan at the G will be epic

 

[MWPP]

Guess I’ll be heading to Sydney for the NZ v Aus clash

It seems odd, but then again there are some fixtures that you are just not going to get large crowds to.

Rather than have any of the other major stadiums looking empty, may as well put them in a smaller capacity ground, have cheap tickets (I assume) and see if you can get a few thousand to go along.

I remember when the Asian Cup of soccer was here a few years back, they had some games at smaller venues with cheaper tickets, worked well.

• Better atmosphere for those that attend.
• Looks better on TV
• Cheaper overheads.

Absolutely - especially for the first round games. It's a good move playing them in smaller grounds like Blundstone Arena (and they still get a couple of Super 12 matches too).

I’ll do my best to get to all of them. Tickets starting at $20 and $5 for kids, seems pretty accessible, and with the hill down there I can see me taking the kids at least one day and them going mental as usual

Smallest stadium was in Canberra which fits 25k. All other Asian cup venues in 30k + stadiums

Newcastle was a 22k capacity stadium during the Asian Cup. Hence the semi-final being a sell out crowd of 21,079.

What was the story there?! Not allowed to use grassed area?!

Correct standing room wasn’t permitted

Pre-sale tickets went on sale yesterday - just picked up tickets for the India vs South Africa and Pakistan vs ??? double-header.

$90 for a family of four - good seats, too. Kids are only $5 each. Ridiculously cheap for two games of international cricket.
