3 Nations that can host ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 if it shifts from Bangladesh

The ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 is all set to get underway in a couple of months time. This will be one of the biggest ICC events in women's cricket, and the six-time champion Australia will defend their title. The tournament will have a total of ten teams that will compete in 23 games between October 3 and October 20.

These matches will be played in Dhaka and Sylhet in Bangladesh. But the current situation in Bangladesh is not well, as they are going through massive domestic turmoil at the moment. That might force some participating teams to look for security. The International Cricket Council has not made a statement official, and they are reviewing the conditions closely.

But there is a chance that the ICC might shift the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 to a new place. In this article, we will talk about the three possible hosts for the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024, if it might shift from Bangladesh.

Three countries that can host the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 if the ICC shifts it from Bangladesh

3. South Africa

South Africa hosted the last edition of the ICC Womens T20 World Cup last year, which Australia won. It was a successful tournament, and it went through a smooth operation under Cricket South Africa.

So, they can be considered to host the ICC event in consecutive years. They have managed some big cricket tournaments on short notice in the past and can be a good option to host the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 this year.

2. India

Without a doubt, India will be among the front-runners to host the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024 if it moves out of Bangladesh. India have a huge experience of hosting ICC events and will be hosting some big events in the coming years in both men's and women's cricket.

Adding to that, the weather conditions in India during October are perfect and pleasant, where you can play cricket matches, and broadcasters will get paid better if the tournament comes in to India. And the success of the Women's Premier League makes India a perfect place to host women's matches.

1. Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka might come as the first choice for the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2024. The conditions in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are not different, and recently Sri Lanka hosted the Women's Asia Cup 2023 successfully.

They hosted the third edition of the Women's T20 World Cup in 2012, and the Sri Lankan cricket board will be more than happy to host this ICC event. The weather conditions are also better during that time of year, and the ICC can think to reward them with the hosting rights.
