The ICC granted Twenty20 International (T20I) status to matches between all of its Members, starting from 1 July 2018 for women's team but not until 1 January 2019 for the men.[2][3] Argentina were the defending champions having won the event in 2017, but were represented by a development squad, Argentina A.[4]
