The Mujib 100 T20 Cup Bangladesh 2020[1] was a two-match Twenty20 International T20I series, that was to be hosted by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The two matches were scheduled to be played between an Asia XI and a World XI teams in March 2020.[2] The matches would have celebrated the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh.[3] The International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full international status to the two fixtures.[4] On 25 February 2020, the BCB named two tentative squads for the fixtures.[5] However, on 11 March 2020, the matches were "deferred until further notice" due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
