According to Cricbuzz, the United States and West Indies are likely to co-host the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It will be the first-ever ICC T20 World Cup tournament featuring 20 teams. ICC is targeting the US so that the gentleman’s sport could get a global reach where the game is hardly practiced.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has already released the schedule for the upcoming major global tournaments which will be taking place from 2024-2031. It has also been learned that there will be 14 teams in the 2027 and 2031 50-over World Cups. The current number of participants is 10.
India previously hosted the 2016 T20 World Cup
If the reports are to be believed then India is likely to host the 2031 Cricket World Cup. This would be the 5th time India will be hosting the showpiece event. The first tournament was hosted in 1987, then in 1996 India co-hosted with Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In 2011 India created history as they won the world cup on home soil after 28 years. The richest board in the world then hosted the 2016 T20 World Cup.
India was scheduled to host the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. However, the BCCI moved the competition to the Middle East because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2023 Cricket World Cup will be the latest ICC event India will be hosting.
