World Cup 2027 will be played in South Africa this time
The upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2027 will be co-hosted by South this time. So today, on April 10, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has shortlisted 8 venues for this multinational tournament, where matches will be played between all the teams.
Also, let us tell you that along with South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia are also co-hosts for the World Cup, but till now both the boards have not given information about any ground. However, there is every possibility that Zimbabwe may be seen playing all its home matches at the Harare Sports Club ground.
On the other hand, throwing more light on the 8 venues shortlisted by Cricket South Africa for the World Cup 2027, CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki said according to Cricket South Africa’s website – These venues are based on a scientific practice, in which hotels Airport availability is also included with the numbers. If a place is not chosen, it includes the reality of places not chosen.
We currently have 11 ICC approved venues. So, it was quite difficult to leave out three venues, but everything else has also been taken care of. The practice spaces available at all these venues along with other practice spaces have also been taken into account.
