Also postponed was this month’s One-Day International series against Zimbabwe.
Cricket Australia (CA) said the three-match West Indies series was intended to be a warm-up to the T20 World Cup, but could no longer serve that purpose.

It stated, “In light of this development…it has been agreed to postpone the matches.”
The series will take place ahead of the rescheduled T20 World Cup, on dates yet to be decided in either 2021 or 2022.
Australia is currently battling a second wave of Covid-19 infections with closed borders and arrivals required to undergo 14-day quarantine.
