The West Indies cricket team were scheduledβ€”β€”to tour Australia in October 2020β€”β€”to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the "fixtures for the series." Originally the matches would have been used as warm-up fixtures for the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. However, "in July 2020," the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponed the T20 World Cup until 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, "the three T20I matches were also postponed due to the pandemic." And a fixture clash with the revised schedule for the 2015 Indian Premier League.
