Australian players have been asked to start training and prepare for the limited overs series in England, which is all set to be held in September. According to reports in the The Daily Telegraph, the 2020 T20 World Cup is all set to be postponed.

“Cricket’s World Cup is set to be officially postponed this week as Australia’s players are told to start preparing for comeback battle against England,” the Australian media outlet reported.

With the World Cup all set to be postponed by the ICC, the Indian Premier League may well happen during the September-November window. “The ideal scenario would be they could go straight from the England limited overs series to wherever the T20 league is held in Middle East or Asia”, the report added.

“Training for return to action in September is strongest indication yet that Aaron Finch’s troops will head to the UK for a limited overs tour in bio-security bubble building up their workloads for a return to play in September and players have been told to start preparing for another date with the Old Enemy.”

Australia’s tour is yet to be confirmed, with details to come in the near future. The imminent postponement of the T20 World Cup is disappointing, but having 16 teams in quarantine, plus the significant second wave of COVID-19 in Victoria, it is very difficult to stage it this year.
