The 2020–22 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League[1][2] will be the inaugural edition of the One Day International (ODI) league.[3] The league is scheduled to take place from May 2020 to March 2022, and will serve as part of the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualification process.[4]

It will feature thirteen teams, the twelve Full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Netherlands, who won the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship to qualify for this competition.[5] Each team will play an ODI series against eight of the twelve opponents, four series at home and four away. Each series will consist of three ODIs.[6]

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted on the start of the league, with several rounds of matches being postponed. In April 2020, following a Chief Executives' meeting, the ICC announced that it would look at the future of the league at a later date, once there is a better understanding of the impact of the pandemic on cricket.[7][8]

Thirteen teams qualified for the 2020–22 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League:

For the World Cup, the hosts (India), and the top seven sides thereafter, will qualify automatically. The remaining five teams will play in a qualifying event along with five Associate sides, from which two sides will go through to the final tournament.[10]

The top twelve teams in this Super League will qualify for the next Cricket World Cup Super League. The 13th ranked team in this Super League could be relegated to the next Cricket World Cup League 2. Of the 13th ranked team in this Super League and the champions of the 2019–22 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, whichever of these two teams is ranked higher in the 2022 Cricket World Cup Qualifier will take the 13th spot in the next Super League while the team ranked lower will play in the next League 2.[11][12]

Schedule

The match schedule was announced by the ICC on 20 June 2018 as part of the 2018–23 ICC Future Tours Programme.[13][14]

Coronavirus pandemic

Main article: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports § Cricket

The coronavirus pandemic impacted on international cricket fixtures, including the start of the league. Bangladesh's matches against Ireland were postponed on 21 March 2020.[15] In April 2020, South Africa's tour to Sri Lanka was postponed.[16] The same month, Pakistan's tour of the Netherlands and the West Indies tour of the Netherlands were both postponed, after the Dutch government banned all events in the country, both sports and cultural, until 1 September 2020.[17] On 15 May 2020, Cricket Ireland confirmed that the tour by New Zealand had also been postponed.[18] However, Ireland's 3-match ODI series in England originally scheduled for September 2020 has been brought forward to July and August with all three matches taking place at Old Trafford, starting on 30 July 2020.[19][20][21]

On 12 June 2020, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that it had called off their tours to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.[22]
