This tournament is an exhibition tournament, which is not notable. It's generating a bit of press coverage at the moment, but only routine coverage. Clear case of notability is not inherited, as some of the possible players are notable, but that doesn't make the tournament itself notable. Finally, it's been indefinitely postponed, so no evidence that it will even actually happen. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL; "indefinitely postponed" all too often is Cricket Board code for "cancelled". If it happens, and if it generates enough coverage to be notable, then we can look at creating an article at that point. Harrias ^talk 12:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Cricket South Africa have said it's been postponed before it has even begun. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Short form cricket (or delete) – per WP:EVENT the bizarre format certainly makes it unusual enough to deserve attention. However, while there seems to be enough coverage and information to pass much of WP:CRYSTAL (i.e. the content is verifiable) the event is not "almost certain to take place". While cancelled events can be worthy of inclusion, in this case there is also a lack of depth of coverage. What there is can be adequately summarised elsewhere and Short form cricket seems like a good home for it. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:59, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would oppose a merge for now, as the format seems to have been made up specifically for this match. If the match takes places later on, I think a mention of three team cricket would then be appropriate. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like the event is cancelled and coverage is routine but not anything particularly remarkable. ≫ (Lil-Unique1) -{ Talk }- 18:26, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; in case anyone misses it, a new date has been fixed [1]. Doesn't prompt me to change my !vote above, and don't expect others will either as it still falls below the threshold for a standalone article. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:55, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
