The West Indies cricket team were scheduled to tour Australia in October 2020 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the series.[3][4] Originally the matches would have been used as warm-up fixtures for the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponed the T20 World Cup until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In August 2020, the three T20I matches were also postponed due to the pandemic,[6] and a fixture clash with the revised schedule for the 2020 Indian Premier League.[7]
