ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 relocated to UAE due to political unrest in Bangladesh

This development follows a recent virtual meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Board, where the prevailing opinion among Board members was that the tournament could not be staged in Bangladesh under the current circumstances.

ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 relocated to UAE due to political unrest in Bangladesh

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will be relocated from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The tournament, initially scheduled to take place from October 3 to 20, will now be hosted in Dubai and Sharjah. This decision comes in response to the recent political instability and civil unrest in Bangladesh, which has made hosting the global event unfeasible.

ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice expressed regret over the relocation, acknowledging the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)'s efforts to keep the tournament in the country. "It is a shame not to be hosting the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the BCB would have staged a memorable event," Allardice said. He praised the BCB for exploring all possible avenues to host the event despite the challenges. "Travel advisories from the governments of several participating teams made it impossible to proceed with the event in Bangladesh," he added.

The decision to move the tournament was influenced by a series of anti-government protests and political turmoil that have affected Bangladesh in recent months. With Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and the establishment of an interim government, the situation in the country remains volatile, with reports of violence and vandalism.

The ICC also expressed gratitude to the Emirates Cricket Board for stepping in to host the event and to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe for their offers of support. Allardice confirmed that the BCB would retain the official hosting rights and hoped that ICC global events would return to Bangladesh soon.

The UAE, which previously hosted the 2021 men’s T20 World Cup, has been chosen for its favorable weather conditions and logistical alignment with Bangladesh’s time zone. The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will follow a format similar to the 2021 men’s tournament, featuring ten teams and 23 matches.

The tournament will feature teams including India, Australia, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals, with the winners progressing to the final.
