As part of the ICC's comprehensive contingency planning process across all ICC events and after consultation with Members and with the relevant government and public health authorities, the decision has been taken to postpone all three series.
The postponed series included table-toppers Oman who were due to host the second-placed USA and seventh-placed Nepal for six ODIs between 19 and 28 March 2021.
The seventh series of the competition scheduled PNG who sit at the foot of the standings to host Oman and third-placed Scotland between 14 and 24 April 2021.
The final series which will need to be rescheduled was to see PNG play host again, with the USA and fourth-placed Namibia travelling to the Pacific to play six ODIs between 13 and 23 May 2021.

The postponements are due to the current travel restrictions between countries, the quarantine time required before matches, and the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
'We have decided to postpone the three upcoming series involving six Members in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 competition. The ICC's priority continues to be to protect the well-being of players, coaches, officials, and fans,' said Chris Tetley ICC Head of Events in an official statement.
'We have fully assessed the situation with both hosts and all participating Members, and taking into account current travel restrictions, quarantine time before matches and on government and public health authority advice in relation to COVID-19, the best course of action was to postpone these series,' he added.
The ICC will now work with hosts and participating Members to find an appropriate window where the qualification pathway fixtures can be safely and practically rescheduled before the cut-off date of 28 February 2023.

South African Richard Sterne holds a slim lead after the opening day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in the United Arab Emirates, but a number of bigger names are also near the top of the leaderboard.
Sergio Garcia shot an opening-round 66 and is just two shots behind Sterne, while Paul Casey (-5), Martin Kaymer (-4) and Tommy Fleetwood (-4) are all within striking range after the first day.
Sterne, who has six wins on the European Tour, but none since the Joburg Open in 2013, had just one bogey to go with nine birdies to finish the day at 8 under. The 39-year-old holds a one-shot edge over American Kurt Kitayama, who shot a 65 thanks to an eagle on the 17th hole.
Garcia had a smooth round with three birdies on each side and no bogeys.

“I felt comfortable out there for sure. I felt like I hit a lot of good shots. Conditions obviously were good, but they were tricky,” Garcia said. “The greens are a little patchy when it comes down to firmness. Some spots are really firm and some spots you can definitely spin it. But other than that, I felt like it was a good, solid day, and very happy with the way it went.”
Other notables included Lee Westwood and Shane Lowry at 2 under and Collin Morikawa, who shot a one-under 71.
