The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on cricket earnings around the world. The Indian Premier League debuted in April 2021, but was forced to be cancelled a month later due to an increase of Covid infections across the country.
In September, it resumed in the United Arab Emirates, with Chennai Super Kings defeating Kolkata Knight Riders in the final on October 15 in Dubai. Due to the pandemic, the IPL was held in the United Arab Emirates in 2020.
This will be South Africa’s first T20I competition after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. South Africa and India, along with Pakistan and Bangladesh, have been drawn together for the Super 12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia in 2022.
