Why was there no T20 World Cup in 2018?

The 2018 edition of the ICC (International Cricket Council) World Twenty20 (now the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup) was canceled because of a packed cricket calendar and conflicts in scheduling bilateral series among multiple countries. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the 2020 edition by a year, creating a five-year gap between men’s World Cups. However, the 2018 and 2020 editions of the Women’s World Twenty20 (now the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup) were held on schedule.
