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.[5] The series was originally scheduled to be played in May 2021, but it was moved to May 2022 due to the pandemic.[6]
