On 13 March 2020, the sixth round of matches, scheduled to take place in Lauderhill, Florida in April 2020, were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions to the United States.[27][28] On 24 March 2020, the ICC also confirmed that rounds seven and eight, scheduled to take place in Namibia and Papua New Guinea respectively, had also been postponed.[29] The ninth round of fixtures, scheduled to take place in Scotland in July 2020, were postponed on 10 June 2020.[30] The round 10 tournament, scheduled to take place in Namibia in September 2020, was postponed on 23 July 2020.[31]

In February 2021, the ICC confirmed that rounds six, seven and eight of their updated schedule had also been postponed.[32] Round six was scheduled to take place in Oman, with rounds seven and eight originally scheduled to be played in Papua New Guinea.[33] Round 8 was rescheduled to take place in Namibia during November and December 2021.[34] However, only two matches were played, before the remaining fixtures were postponed due to the discovery of a new variant of COVID-19 in Southern Africa.[35]

Each team hosts three tri-series, each time joined by a different two of the other six teams. Each tri-series comprises six matches (two between each pair of teams). Therefore, over the course of the whole tournament, each team plays each other team twice at home, twice away, and twice at a neutral venue. The exception is two of Oman's home matches, against Namibia and UAE, which were cancelled during Round 4, and were instead scheduled to be played in Namibia during Round 8 (although they were again postponed). Oman and UAE played a three-match bilateral series in February 2022 to make up for games that had been postponed in the earlier tri-series in Oman and Namibia.[36]
