England's bid to unite the global game's two white-ball belts is set to be put on hold with October's Twenty20 World Cup looking likely to be postponed for 12 months. Shifting the 16-team event in Australia a full year would have a knock-on effect of the 2021 Twenty20 World Cup in India being delayed to October-November 2022. It does not represent an ideal schedule change, with Eoin Morgan's team due to defend the 50-over world title on the subcontinent just three months later, in February 2023. It would also mean England heading straight out of the next global event and into the 2021-22 Ashes in November of next year. Moving the T20 World Cup would also create a new October-November window for the Indian Premier League season to take place.
