The competition is traditionally held every two years, though there was no 2018 edition and the 2020 tournament was pushed back a year due to the COVID pandemic.

Reigning champions Australia will hope to defend their title on home soil with all games to be played Down Under.

They defeated Oceanic rivals New Zealand in last year's final, while England were dumped out of the tournament by the Kiwis in the semi-finals following superb last-ditch displays from Daryl Mitchell and Jimmy Neesham to claw their way to the final.

Fans around the world will be desperate to soak up five weeks of glorious T20 action on the world stage.
