    Four venues expressed interest in hosting matches

    As many as four international venues expressed interest in staging matches by the deadline of May 11, based on several fundamental principles. Eventually, the ECB finalized Ageas Bowl and Emirates Old Trafford as hosts. The venues had to demonstrate a number of principles in order to create a bio-secure environment. The criteria comprised of bio-security, medical screening and footprint to enable social distancing.
