In a significant development, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is reportedly contemplating a relocation of the 2024 T20 World Cup from the West Indies and the United States of America (USA) to England. The decision comes as a result of concerns over inadequate infrastructure in the USA, which is deemed unsuitable for hosting international matches, thereby compelling the apex body to explore alternative options.With a mere 12 months remaining until the prestigious global tournament, the USA appears to lack the necessary stadiums that meet international standards. In light of this, the ICC is expected to approach England with a request to assume hosting duties for the T20 World Cup.It is noteworthy that England, along with Ireland and Scotland, has already secured the hosting rights for the 2030 edition of the T20 World Cup. However, as per reports, there is a possibility that England might be requested to swap hosting responsibilities with the West Indies and the USA for the 2024 event.A source close to the matter commented, “We find ourselves facing a situation where the infrastructure in the USA is not up to par. We believe that England possesses the necessary facilities to organize matches for the 2024 T20 World Cup. This strategic move would enable the USA to adequately prepare their stadiums for the subsequent tournament in 2030.”While no official announcements have been made by the ICC regarding the potential relocation, cricket enthusiasts and stakeholders await further developments on this matter that could have far-reaching implications for the international cricket calendar.
