The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the schedule for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 which is scheduled to begin from October 17 and will end on November 14. Team England led by Eoin Morgan is one of the favorites to lift the trophy.

Eoin Morgan-led England is placed in Group A, which is also referred to as a ‘group of death’ by several cricket fans and experts. Considering the group contains dangerous teams like England, West Indies, Australia, and South Africa. Notably, team West Indies will be the biggest threat for England considering the firepower they have in the team. Also, Australia might pull something unexpected with the return of star players in the team.
