In May 2016, the ICC put forward the idea of having a tournament in 2018, with South Africa being the possible host, but the ICC later dropped the idea of a 2018 edition as the top member nations busied with bilateral commitments in 2018. The 2020 edition of the tournament was scheduled to take place but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed until 2021, with the intended host changed to India. The 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was later relocated to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman due to problems relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, taking place 5 years after the previous (2016) iteration.As of 2024, nine editions have so far been played and a total of 24 teams have competed. Only the West Indies, England and India have won the tournament more than once, all three nations having won two titles. The inaugural 2007 World Twenty20, was staged in South Africa and won by India, who defeated Pakistan in the final at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The 2009 tournament took place in England, and was won by the previous runner-up, Pakistan, who defeated Sri Lanka in the final at Lord's. The third tournament was held in 2010, hosted by the countries making up the West Indies cricket team. England cricket team defeated Australia in the final in Barbados, which was played at Kensington Oval, winning their first international tournament. The fourth tournament, the 2012 World Twenty20, was held in Asia for the first time, with all matches played in Sri Lanka. The West Indies won the tournament by defeating Sri Lanka in the final, winning its first international tournament since the 2004 Champions Trophy. The fifth tournament, the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, was hosted by Bangladesh, and was won by Sri Lanka defeating India, Sri Lanka being the first team to play in three finals. The sixth tournament, the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, was hosted by India and was won by West Indies defeating England. The seventh tournament, the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup , was hosted by UAE and was won by Australia defeating New Zealand. England beat Pakistan in the 2022 final, winning their second title, which was held in Australia. They became the first men's team to hold both limited-overs World Cups (T20 and ODI) simultaneously.In the 2024 final, held in the West Indies and the United States, India won its second title against South Africa, equaling England and West Indies with the most titles in T20 World Cup. India became the first country to win the tournament without losing any game.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:00 UTC on Monday, 1 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

Alex Blackwell, captain of the Australian women's cricket team through World Cup and Ashes victories, provides a rare insight into life – the highs and lows – in Australia's most loved sporting team. This is a fascinating account of one of Australia's most accomplished sportspeople and of the game she loves. She has played more matches for Australia than any other female cricketer in history, she captained the Australian Women's Team to World Twenty20 glory in 2010 and reclaimed the Ashes against England in 2011. She studied medicine at the University of New South Wales from 2002 to 2005 before making a difficult decision to leave the course to pursue her cricketing dreams. Alex changed her career direction to become a genetic counsellor, working for three years in prenatal screening before becoming a full time professional cricketer in October of 2014. Alex came out as a gay athlete in 2012 and is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion within sport with a particular focus on gender equality and the inclusion of LGBTI people. In 2015 she proudly led the Mardi Gras parade alongside other out athletes Daniel Kowalski, Jai Wallace and Matthew Mitchem. Fair Game is the unmissable account of life and leadership inside Australia's most loved sporting team, told by one of its most capped players of all time. This is the story of the sacrifices and victories, the extreme highs and devastating lows, that come with playing sport at the highest level, and of what it takes to be truly courageous on and off the field.

After the United States imposed arguably the ‘toughest ever’ sanctions on Iran, American-Iranian football coach Katayoun Khosrowyar says the US and Iran’s increasingly unstable relationship could harm the future of women’s football in the country. Katayoun describes the two as having a ‘love-hate relationship’, and admits it’s painful to see two countries so close to her heart in conflict. We hear from the 23-year-old Australian who is completing the Four Deserts Grand Slam. The series consists of the Sahara, the Gobi March, the Atacama Crossing and the Last Desert in Antarctica. Each desert race is 250 kilometres long and has to be completed within seven days. Jacqui Bell is three quarters of the way through and reveals how she’s been pushing herself to the limit. England footballer Molly Bartrip describes how a voice inside her head took control of her life and ‘played her like a puppet’ during her battle with anorexia as a teenager. Molly tells Katie Falkingham how she overcame the illness and reveals that being recalled to the England squad after her recovery was the ‘best feeling in the world.’ South Africa cricketer Laura Wolvaardt has a very important, career-defining choice to make. The 19-year-old, who is the youngest South African to score a century in one-day internationals and the youngest woman to score 1,000 runs in ODIs, has deferred her place to study medicine at university so she can continue playing cricket, but that year is coming to an end. As the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 gets underway, Laura tells Sportshour she’s hoping to defer for another year and carry on breaking records for the Proteas. The first ever Running World Cup begins next week and absolutely anyone from any country from around the world can get involved, regardless of ability level. From professional athletes, to keen amateur runners or even complete beginners, every one that runs will make a big contribution towards their country’s final position on the leaderboard. You can even compete in your own back garden! It's all measured using a special mobile running app and even eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt is taking part as Jamaica captain. Nick Beresford is the CEO of the event sponsor and explains what this unique phenomenon is all about. (Photo: Katayoun Khosrowyar. Credit: Getty Images)

In episode 24 we talk with cricket legend and World Cup (2009) winner Ebony Rainford-Brent.  We discuss how she's navigated the ups and downs of her career and how she's constantly seeking out new opportunities to grow and develop within and beyond cricket.  Ebony is a former English cricketer, who was the first black woman to play for the England team and also captained the Surrey Women's team. Since retiring from cricket, Ebony has gone on to become the first Director of Women's Cricket at Surrey County Cricket Club; pundit and broadcaster for the BBC flagship radio programme Test Match Special (she is one of the first female expert summarisers to commentate on men's international cricket matches); and is also a Motivational Speaker and hosts ‘The Art of Success' a fortnightly motivational podcast. Ebony was a member of the England Team that won the 9th ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in Sydney 2009. In the three months following their World Cup win, the team went on to win: the ICC Women's World Twenty20, the Natwest One Day series and retained the Ashes. Visit her website here.

The England Cricket Board, England Hockey and England Netball have collaborated to launch a three-year campaign to maximise the legacy of hosting three consecutive World Cups and build a fan base for women’s team sports. They have an ambitious target to ensure all 7-13-year-old girls across the country have the opportunity to experience the benefits of team sport. One of the players who is helping to promote this initiative is England cricketing all rounder Georgia Elwiss. Georgia made her international debut for England in 2011. Having featured in the 2016 World Twenty20, she was named as the captain of Loughborough Lighting in the inaugural Kia Super League.
