ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Schedule Announced

On Friday, January 5, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the complete schedule for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is set to be the ninth edition of the competition organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The marquee tournament is scheduled to be played in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA) from June 1 to June 29, 2024. It will become the first-ever ICC World Cup tournament to be hosted by the USA.

A total of 20 teams from across the globe are set to take part in the competition and it is an expansion from the 16 teams at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. The qualification of the teams was decided based on various factors. The hosts got an automatic qualification along with the top 8 sides from the last T20 World Cup tournament and the next two ranked teams in the T20I Rankings. The rest of the teams had to compete in the regional qualifiers to book their place in the T20 World Cup.
