Associate international cricket in 2020–21

The 2020–21 Associate international cricket season is from September 2020 to April 2021. All official twenty over matches between Associate members of the ICC were eligible to have full Twenty20 International (T20I) or Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted T20I status to matches between all of its members from 1 July 2018 (women's teams) and 1 January 2019 (men's teams).[1] The season includes all T20I/WT20I cricket series involving ICC Associate members, that were of lesser notability than series covered in International cricket in 2020–21.
