England reached the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup

England have been drawn alongside hosts Australia, and New Zealand, in the group stage of men’s 2022 T20 World Cup.

The delay to the 2020 event, which Australia won in November 2021, means there is less than a year between the two editions.

Group 1 will see England, Australia, New Zealand and Afghanistan joined by two qualifiers, which could include Sri Lanka, West Indies and Scotland.
