Instances Where Simultaneous Series and Matches were Played
I decided to do some searching after I posted a question about instances where countries played multiple series simultaneously, whether it be with the same XI or separate ones. These are some of the instances I found
- In September 1998, India and Pakistan played 2 different XIs. India had a 5 ODI series from September 12 - 20 in Canada. At the same time, they both sent teams to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia, which occurred from September 9 - 19
- In January and February 1930, played 2 series against New Zealand and West Indies. England played 2 overlapping Test matches against West Indies at Barbados and New Zealand at Christchurch. The New Zealand match was January 10 - 13 and the West Indies match was January 11-16. January 13th was the first instants where an ICC team played two matches on the same day
- February 21-24 1930: New Zealand vs England
- February 21-26: West Indies vs England
- The remaining dates were not overlapping, however the series still overlapped
- Recently, Eoin Morgan talked about fielding a T20 and a Test team simultaneously and the BCCI also considered this. Both due to COVID causing scheduling issues.
