2024 T20 World Cup
The 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup will be co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies, from 4th to 30th June. It will be the ninth time the tournament has been held. Two-thirds of the matches will be played in countries of the West Indies, the rest in the USA.
It will be the first time that the United States will host a cricket World Cup, an obvious move by the IOC to extend its reach beyond its traditional cricket playing nations.
Seven venues in the Caribbean will host matches: Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago, along with three venues in the USA – Dallas, Florida and New York.
England are the defending champions, having won in 2022.
