The Road Safety World Series T20 tournament was originally supposed to be held in its inaugural edition in early 2020. However, the global pandemic hit and the tournament was halt after hosting only four games.

Instead of starting freshly in 2021, the organizers have decided to resume the previous edition. The inaugural edition of the tournament underwent in March 2020, where 11 league matches were scheduled in Pune and Mumbai. Now newly-built Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur will host all the games.

England Legends and Bangladesh Legends will replace the Brett Lee-led Australia Legends, who are set to miss due to their inability to travel to India owing to the strict COVID-19 restrictions in Australia.

The tournament will commence with Indian Legends taking on Bangladesh Legends on March 5, while the latest entrants – England Legends and Bangladesh Legends – will commence their proceedings facing each other on March 7.
