Not covered here

Our research did not cover the ILT20 in the UAE, the Bangladesh Premier League, the Lanka Premier League, the Women's CPL, New Zealand's Super Smash, or England's Blast and One-Day Cup. We list no winners for them rather than guess.

The IPL and WPL are on IPL and WPL, and The Hundred on its own page. Where Australian cricket is shown, as Cricket Australia states it, is on watching cricket.
