The 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is scheduled to be the eighth ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament,[3] scheduled to be played in October and November 2022 in Australia.[4][5] Originally, the tournament was to be held in 2020, however, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the tournament had been postponed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] In August 2020, the ICC also confirmed that Australia would host the rearranged tournament in 2022,[7] with the T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in India in 2021 as originally planned,[8] but was later moved to UAE and Oman.[9] On 21 January 2022, the ICC confirmed all the fixtures for the tournament.[10][11] Hosts Australia are also the defending champions.[12]

Background[]

In April 2018, the ICC announced that the tournament would replace the scheduled 2021 ICC Champions Trophy.[13] This was after the ICC granted full international status to Twenty20 matches played between member sides from 1 January 2019 onwards.[14]

In October 2019, it was reported that the ICC could scrap the T20 World Cup Qualifier, which would have been used as a pathway for qualification to the T20 World Cup.[15] Therefore, twelve teams from the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup and four teams from qualification events would advance to the T20 World Cup. On 23 January 2020, the ICC confirmed the full details of qualification for the tournament.[16] In May 2020, the ICC told the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that they reserve the rights to take away hosting rights from India, after the BCCI did not secure a tax exemption from the Indian government for the tournament.[17]

In July 2020, when the previous edition of the tournament was being reviewed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Earl Eddings, the chairman of Cricket Australia suggested that Australia could host that tournament in October 2021, and India stage this tournament a year later in 2022.[18] The ICC also confirmed that either Australia or India, the hosts for the tournaments originally scheduled to take place in 2020 and 2021 respectively, would host this tournament.[19][20]

Teams and qualifications[]

The twelve teams that reached the Super 12 phase of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup automatically qualified for the 2022 tournament.[21][22] Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa all qualified directly for the Super 12 phase of this tournament, based on their performances in the 2021 tournament and their rankings as of 15 November 2021.[23] Namibia, Scotland, Sri Lanka and the West Indies were all placed in the group stage of the competition.[24]

The remaining four places will come from the top two teams from each of the two Global Qualifiers.[16] The Global Qualifiers will have a total of sixteen teams; the bottom four teams from the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup (Ireland, Netherlands, Oman and Papua New Guinea), the next four highest ranked T20I sides (Zimbabwe, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore),[25] and the eight teams that progressed from the Regional Finals.[16]

Global Qualifiers[]

The Global Qualifiers will consist of the four lowest ranked teams from the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, the four best ranked teams not already qualified for the World Cup or qualifiers; and eight teams from Regional Qualifiers.[16] On 24 March 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that all ICC qualifying events scheduled to take place before 30 June 2020 had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[26] In December 2020, the ICC updated the qualification pathway following the disruption from the pandemic.[27]

In August 2021, the ICC confirmed that the EAP qualifier had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[28] As a result, the Philippines advanced to the Global Qualifiers as the highest-ranked team in the EAP region.[29] In October 2021, Group B of the Asia qualifier was also cancelled due to the pandemic, with Hong Kong progressing as the highest-ranked team.[30] In the Regional Final of the European qualifier, Jersey won their first four matches to confirm their progression to the Global Qualifiers.[31] Germany finished in second place, ahead of Italy on net run rate, to also advance from the European group.[32] Bahrain won Group A of the Asia qualifier, finishing just ahead of Qatar on net run rate.[33] In the Americas qualifier, the United States became the first team from that group to reach the Global Qualifiers, after they won their first five matches.[34] They were joined by Canada, who finished in second position in the Americas qualifier group.[35] Uganda claimed the final place in the Global Qualifiers, after winning the Regional Final of the Africa qualifier.[36]
