After the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup had to be cancelled because of the Covid-19 induced pandemic, Australia was not ready to host the 2021 edition. Therefore, it proposed India to swap the rights of the tournament. Thereafter, the T20 World Cup was organised in the UAE by BCCI. Cricket Australia got the postponed version of 2020 edition scheduled for 2022.
