International Cricket Council postponed the Women's World Cup 2021 for one year which was scheduled to be held in New Zealand.

The decision was made during a video conference.

The ICC also decide that the 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup -- postponed by the Coronavirus Pandemic -- will be staged in Australia in 2022.

India will host the 2021 edition as planned, the Global governing body said, while the 50-over Women's World Cup, scheduled for next year in New Zealand, has been postponed until 2022.

The format of the 2021 T20 World Cup will remain as it was for 2020 and all teams that qualified for that event will now participate in India in 2021.

A new qualification process will be run for the 2022 edition.
