Dubai and Sharjah has been chosen as the two venues for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 which will take place from October 3 to 20.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will now happen in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) instead of Bangladesh, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday. However, the hosts of the marquee event will still be Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The tournament will take place across the two venues in the UAE – Dubai and Sharjah – from October 3 to 20.
“It is a shame not to be hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have staged a memorable event,” ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement. “I would like to thank the team at the BCB for exploring all avenues to try and enable the event to be hosted in Bangladesh, but travel advisories from the governments of a number of the participating teams meant that wasn’t feasible. However, they will retain hosting rights. We look forward to taking an ICC global event to Bangladesh in the near future.
“I’d also like to thank the Emirates Cricket Board for stepping in to host on behalf of the BCB and Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe for their generous offers of support, and we look forward to seeing ICC global events in both of those countries in 2026.”
