Please note that applying for matches does not guarantee you match-day accreditation. The match-day lists will be finalized acknowledging the participating teams in the matches and preference will be given to media from those countries. Media that don’t get match-day accreditation are still able to cover match day-1 as long as they have ICC Men’s T20 World Cup media accreditation.

Accredited media who have attended tournament matches regularly will be given preference, only those already accredited for the tournament will be allowed to apply.
