Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Women’s T20 World Cup will be played here and not in Bangladesh, ICC confirmed
Due to the bad political situation in Bangladesh, the ICC has taken this big step. Women’s T20 World Cup (Image Credit- Twitter X) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Bangladesh had the hosting rights for the tournament. However, after the major political upheaval in the country, the venue of the tournament has now been changed by the biggest cricket body i.e. International Cricket Council (ICC). Also, let us tell you that the 9th season of the Women’s T20 World Cup will be played under the hosting of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Talking about the new venue, it is going to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) instead of Bangladesh. The upcoming season of the tournament will be held in the UAE from October 3 to October 20 at Dubai and Sharjah Cricket Stadium. ICC Chief Executive issued a statement On the other hand, on the shift of the multi-nation tournament from Bangladesh to UAE, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement – It is a shame that Bangladesh is not hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup because we know that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have planned a memorable event. Geoff Allardice further said- I would like to thank the BCB team for exploring all avenues to try and enable this event to be held in Bangladesh, but travel advice from the governments of several participating teams meant this was not possible. However, they (BCB) will retain the hosting rights. We look forward to taking the ICC global event to Bangladesh in the near future. On the other hand, the UAE, which is also the headquarters of the ICC, has emerged as a huge hub of cricket in recent times. Earlier, the UAE also hosted the 2021 T20 World Cup in co-hosting with Oman. So now once again with its world-class facilities and infrastructure, the UAE is well prepared to host the Women’s T20 World Cup.
