Announcing the full international list for the summer of 2020-21 for both teams, the Corona virus epidemic will bring back that old confidence on the international cricket stage, as evidenced by the board's confidence. The schedule is that from August to February of this year, CA Chief Kevin Roberts made it clear that it could change due to the epidemic.

"Despite a global pandemic that has alarmed everyone, we are really excited about the new initiative we are taking to tackle the Australian coronavirus and the positive impact that our efforts will have on hosting an exciting summer of cricket in 2020-21."

He said in a statement:

"We know that the situation or out of our control may change the schedule, judging by the situation ahead, but we will do our best to shoot as many international cricket matches as possible this summer.

"We will announce when or if any changes to the list are needed."

As they begin their campaign in the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, the main theme of the summer is the uncertain World Twenty20 as well as three Twenty20s, four Tests and finally a three-match ODI tour of India.

Roberts said, "We are working closely with the BCCI to provide the expected men's and women's tours, and we look forward to announcing important series against both the men's and women's teams.
