The 2024 Men's T20 World Cup is likely to take place from June 4 to 30 in the Caribbean and the United States, according to a report by ESPNcricinfo.
The mega event is likely to take place at 10 venues with the US set to host an ICC event for the first time.
The venues included Lauderhill in Florida, Morrisville, Dallas and New York, for tournament matches and warm-ups.
The inaugural edition of Major League Cricket is currently being held in Morrisville and Dallas.
“The grounds in Dallas (Grand Prairie Stadium), Morrisville (Church Street Park) and New York (Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx) are yet to get international venue status, which is mandatory as per ICC rules. A final decision on the venues will be taken by the ICC together with Cricket West Indies (CWI) and USA Cricket (USAC) in the next few months,” the report stated.
This week Ireland, Scotland and Papua New Guinea booked their spots in the 20-team T20 Cricket World Cup through the regional qualifiers pathway organised by the ICC. While PNG topped the East Asia-Pacific Qualifer, Ireland and Scotland secured top two positions in the Europe Region Qualifier. Qualifiers from the Americas (one spot), Africa (two spots) and Asia (two spots) regions will be determined in the coming months.
12 teams had already secured a spot in the tournament before the regional qualifiers, including hosts West Indies and US, and the top eight teams at the 2022 T20 World Cup — Australia, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Afghanistan and Bangladesh progressed by virtue of their spots in the T20I rankings.
“The format for the 2024 World Cup will be different to the last two editions (2020-21 in the UAE and 2022 in Australia), where the first round was followed by Super 12s. Next year, the 20 teams will be divided into four groups of five each for the first round, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the Super 8s. The Super 8 teams will be split into two groups of four each, with the top two in each group reaching the semi-finals,” the report added.
