DUBAI: Cricket qualifiers for next year’s women’s World Cup and the 2022 Under-19 World Cup, both in July, have been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the game’s governing body said on Tuesday.

The International Cricket Council said it took the decision as part of its “comprehensive contingency planning process and after consultation”.

The women’s qualifiers were due to take place in Sri Lanka between July 3-19, with three berths available for the 2021 event in New Zealand. Qualifying for the 2022 U-19 tournament was scheduled to begin with a European regional tournament in Denmark from July 24-30.
