The Austria cricket team toured Belgium in July 2021 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches at the Royal Brussels Cricket Club in Waterloo.[1][2] The series was originally due to be held in May 2021,[3] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
Belgium head coach Corey Rutgers resigned shortly before the series after a selection dispute resulted in ten of the players who toured Malta earlier in July either being dropped or later withdrawing from the squad to face Austria.[5]
Belgium won the series 2–1.[6]
