The lack of reserve days for the semi-finals and the playing condition which requires teams to play at least 10 overs a side in knockout games will be up for discussion by the ICC’s Chief Executive Committee later this year, but are unlikely to be altered.

Both rules came in for scrutiny when England were eliminated from the Women’s T20 World Cup after their semi against India was washed out, with no reserve day in place. The latter rule, which differs to that in place for the group stages where 5-over-a-side games are acceptable, almost put paid to hosts Australia’s hopes, but they were just able to squeeze in a 13-over contest against South Africa.

However, Cricket Australia chief executive Kevin Roberts told cricket.com.au that a change at this late stage would be unusual, and might be poorly received by the England Women’s team.

“There’s always cause for reflection at the end of any tournament or any season, in terms of how you approach future tournaments,” he said.

“In saying that, there will be people who suggest there should be semi-final reserve days for the men’s, but I’m not sure how the English women’s team would feel about that, not having had a reserve day in their leg of the tournament.

“I would imagine the playing conditions are in place for the women’s and men’s events and can be discussed and considered after that’s completed. Typically, the playing conditions are determined before a tournament starts and we’ve got two events here – women’s and men’s – within the one tournament, albeit staged at different times of the year.”
