Associate international cricket in 2019–20 explained

The 2019–20 Associate international cricket season was from September 2019 to April 2020.[1] All official twenty over matches between Associate members of the ICC had 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).[2] The season included all T20I/WT20I cricket series mostly involving ICC Associate members, that were played in addition to series covered in International cricket in 2019–20. More than 75% of men's T20I matches in the 2019 calendar year featured Associate teams.[3]

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted on several international cricket fixtures and tournaments.[4] The first Associate international matches postponed included the ACA Africa T20 Cup Finals that had been due to be held in Kenya, the 2020 Malaysia Cricket World Cup Challenge League A and the 2020 United States Tri-Nation Series.[5] [6] [7] On 24 March, ICC announced that all qualifying events scheduled to take place before 30 June had been postponed due to the pandemic, including the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Sub-regional Qualifier and the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup Asia Western Region Qualifier.[8]
