History

Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place in January 2021, before being moved back to December 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] In November 2020, the ICC looked at the possibility of deferring the tournament from its scheduled slot of January 2021 to later in the year.[9] In January 2021, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that they would host the tournament in December 2021,[10] however the tournament was postponed for a second time, and was moved to January 2023.[11] In January 2022, Geoff Allardice, the CEO of the ICC said that the tournament was "very much on the cards", and that the ICC were starting the process for hosts.[12]
