----------------------------------------------------------------------

This one was postponed due to Covid.

So it was supposed to be in 2020 and 2021?

Seems weird that there were none planned between 2016 to 2020

I don't know the full story I'm afraid.

Meanwhile Bairstow has injured himself playing golf and is out of the England squad!

Overdose of T-20 cricket killing ODI and test cricket. My favourites are Afghanistan for this tournament

Thats correct. No sense having ODI's when there is so much T-20. Apart from international T-20, nearly each country has its domestic league

Seems Alex Hales might replace Bairstow in the England squad.

Some news about the England coaching team, for whatever it's worth!

Well, the World Cup has started with a surprising result as Namibia beat Sri Lanka.

Scotland play West Indies at 5am. Might catch a bit of it.

Afghans to win this world cup

Is this the official world cup thread @Blue?

Well it's the only one I think. If anybody wants to start another one I don't mind.

Anyway, well done Scotland on beating the West Indies!

Thanks Admin

2 huge shocks already. Well done to Scotland.

Netherlands beat Namibia this morning. Looks like Sri Lanka are going to beat UAE.

Topley is doubtful for England's first match.

Scotland play Ireland at 5am tomorrow (pity it wasn't a bit later).

Easy win for Sri Lanka

Scotland could have qualified but lost a game they had won

Very disappointing for Scotland but well done Ireland.

Topley is out of the tournament which is a big blow to England.

Topley's absence has been officially confirmed plus Mills comes into the squad.

Sri Lanka and Ze Dutch make it to the next round. Sri Lanka go into England's group.
