International cricket
in 2020–21 | in 2021–22

The 2021 international cricket season took place from May 2021 to September 2021. [1] [2] 13 Tests, 56 One Day Internationals (ODIs), 45 [[Twenty20 International]]s (T20Is) were scheduled to be held in this season. The final of the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship took place in June at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, England, with New Zealand beating India by eight wickets. [3] The 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship started in August 2021, with India's tour of England. [4]

Qualification for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup also started, with Scotland hosting the first regional qualifier group in August. [5] Also in women's international cricket, 18 Women's One Day International (WODI) and 23 Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches were scheduled to be played, along with a women's Test match between England and India. [6] Additionally, a number of other T20I/WT20I matches were scheduled to be played in minor series involving associate nations.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued into the 2021 international calendar. In November 2020, the planned Cricket World Cup Super League fixtures between the Netherlands and England were postponed. [7] The series was originally scheduled to be played in May 2021, but it was moved to May 2022 due to the pandemic. [8] In February 2021, round eight of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament, scheduled to take place in Papua New Guinea, was also postponed. [9] In June, the ninth round of the tournament, scheduled to take place in Spain, was postponed until 2022. [10] On 22 July 2021, Cricket Ireland confirmed that their home series against Zimbabwe would be rescheduled due to quarantine requirements needed for the visiting team. [11] Later the same day, the second ODI match between the West Indies and Australia was postponed following a positive COVID-19 case. [12] The Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament originally scheduled to be played in Jersey during September, was rescheduled to take place in Hong Kong in December 2021. [13]

In September 2021, the fifth Test match between England and India was cancelled a few hours before the scheduled start, due to COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp. [14] The match was rescheduled to take place in July 2022, ahead of India's white-ball tour of England. [15]
