In the spirit of Festivus, I've got a lot of problems with the BCCI and now you're gonna hear about it.
But, in addition to India's stagnation, there can be a lot of other news popping up and developments unfolding in the women's game which can be hard to keep track of. So, aside from threads dedicated to the rare televised series/tournament, this should be a good place to collate it all.
Calendar as it stands
The Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand has been rescheduled to 2022. Australia's fixture looks like this:
India were supposed to tour here in January for 3 ODIs (and with the calendar opening up a bit, god forbid a Test might've been added to make the trip worthwhile), but there's been no word yet with regards to trying to reschedule it. Their board's dgaf attitude is an extreme obstacle:
Australia are a strong chance to tour New Zealand in Feb-March.
The WNCL season starts on 15 January, fixture here. Will New South Wales be able to travel to South Australia for the first round? Will other states continue to operate in a reasonably normal fashion? It's almost pointless pontificating about this stuff in advance, take it as it comes.
The 2022 Commonwealth Games will be hosting women's T20 cricket at Edgbaston:

- They pulled out of a tour to England earlier this year, even though the ECB were going to foot the bill for all bubble-related costs (so the West Indies ended up jumping in).
- Then they cockblocked their players from participating in the WBBL by scheduling a four-match women's IPL joke exhibition.
- Despite rumours of various series against the Windies, Sri Lanka, England etc, nothing has come of it.
- And now, who knows what the plan is. Some other nations, where women are similarly second-class citizens, can cite the money factor as a reason for the pause on international cricket. But not in this case.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games will be hosting women's T20 cricket at Edgbaston:
- Eight-nation tournament, with the top seven teams in the ICC rankings as of 1 April 2020 to automatically qualify.
- A qualification tournament will take place to determine which Caribbean country will represent the sixth-ranked West Indies. The details for that tournament are expected to be confirmed by early January 2021 and is expected to be played in March of April of 2021.
- The tournament to determine the eighth qualifier will be confirmed by no later than 31 July 2021 and will take place no later than 31 January 2022. If Barbados, for example, wins the WI spot then I'm not sure if Jamaica are allowed to compete in that tournament for the final spot. Hopefully they can, as they would be roughly as strong as (if not stronger than) Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
