International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that the two remaining rounds of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League A group will take place in 2022, and will see Cricket Canada and Malaysia Cricket host the events in the months of July/August and November/December. The Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League A, which forms part of the qualification pathway program towards ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, was scheduled to see the remaining 30 List A matches played in the final two rounds of the competition. While Cricket Canada will host the 2nd round from July 27th – August 07th, Malaysia Cricket will host the 3rd and final round from November 26th – December 14th.
The decision to reschedule both series was taken due to restrictions and suspension of sporting activities as part of the ICC’s comprehensive contingency planning of COVID-19. Following extensive consultation with Members, relevant government and public health authorities, it was decided the best opportunity for countries to host and for qualification to be determined on the field of play was to reschedule. Canada currently lead Singapore on net run rate with both teams on eight points in the standings. The top team at the conclusion of the competition will secure one of the six places in the Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off to be held in 2023, alongside the table topper in Challenge League B and the bottom four teams in the Men’s CWC League 2.
