Get Details Including When and Who Are Hosting the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Here! Let's Get Ready!
The ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup or the 2024 T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played in June 2024 in the West Indies and in the USA. The 2024 T20 World Cup will be the first ICC World Cup tournament to feature matches played in the United States. It will be the first-ever ICC World Cup tournament that will be jointly hosted by the Caribbean (The West Indies) and the United States.
All the top cricketing nations coming together means something special. All come into play to become world champions, regardless of bilateral, trilateral, or continental competition. And this is why the World Cup tournament means the gathering of the players as well as the organizers, the competition, and the waiting for the cricket fans to enjoy the game.
However, the 2022 T20 World Cup held in Australia was held with 16 teams. But the good news for cricket fans is that it will not continue in the West Indies and America’s World Cup to be held next June. According to the report, the ICC is giving importance to two things increasing the number of teams to 20. The first is that all 20 teams will compete at the same time from the start of the tournament. The tournament will be organized in a simple format of four groups with 5 teams each. From there, the top teams will advance to the knockout stage.
Second, the teams will participate in the tournament divided into two parts like the current T20 World Cup. The top teams will join the second phase of the tournament. The teams of associate countries will be promoted from the first phase to the second phase.
It is said that this is how ICC (International Cricket Council) wants to popularize cricket in the United States and its neighborhoods. If the number of teams can be increased to 20 in the T20 World Cup 2024, there will be an opportunity for the United States to join.
