T20 World Cup 2024 to Take Place in June
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to move the T20 World Cup 2024 forward to June, rather than October as in previous years. The tournament will be co-hosted by West Indies and the USA from June 4-30.
Inspection of Potential Venues
As reported by ESPNCricinfo, ICC officials have carried out an inspection of possible venues for the tournament in the USA. The competition will be held at ten different locations in the Caribbean and the USA, with Morrisville, Dallas, New York, and Florida all hosting matches.
Format Change for 2024
The 2024 T20 World Cup will have a different format to recent years. Instead of the usual sixteen teams, the tournament will expand to include twenty teams, divided into four groups of five. The top two teams from each group will then move on to the Super 8 Round, where the eight teams will be split into two groups of four. The top two teams from each group will then qualify for the semifinals.
Conclusion
The T20 World Cup 2024 is set to be an exciting tournament, with a new format and a new season. With the ICC having inspected potential venues in the USA, the tournament is sure to be a success.
