Barbados is among seven Caribbean islands confirmed to co-host along with three venues in the USA for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup set from June 4 to 30.
The other six regional countries are Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as Trinidad and Tobago, with Dallas, Florida and New York the hosting states in the USA.
The co-hosts for the global tournament were selected back in November 2021, when the International Cricket Council Board awarded them the hosting rights.
The venues were chosen following an extensive evaluation of several options.
A total of twenty teams will compete for the big prize, with fifteen already confirmed, as the Americas, Asia and Africa qualifier are set to determine the remaining five spots in the coming months.
West Indies and the United States qualify by virtue of being hosts.
Australia, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka will be part of the tournament after finishing in the top eight in the 2022 edition.
Bangladesh and Afghanistan qualified, thanks to their position in the ICC Men’s T20 team ranking at the end of the previous T20 World Cup.
So far, Ireland, Scotland and Papua New Guinea have booked their berths via the qualifiers.
