With a lot of political unrest in Bangladesh, the country might just not be able to host the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The tournament that is scheduled to take place in October, is most likely to be shifted out of there. While the ICC first approached the BCCI to host the tournament, the request was turned down, as that is the monsoon month, and then India is also slated to host the Women’s World Cup next year.
“They (ICC) have asked us if we would conduct the World Cup. I have categorically said no. We’re in the monsoon and on top of that we will host the women’s ODI World Cup next year. I don’t want to give any kind of signals that I want to hold consecutive World Cups,” BCCI’s Jay Shah told The Times of India.
Now, as per a fresh report, UAE has emerged as the likely contender to host the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. What also plays in their favour is the presence of three world-class stadiums, in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. If the report is to be believed, then apart from UAE, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe are also in the running.

Prior to this, reports suggested that the BCB is planning to go to the UN, to keep the rights of the event. This, after many participating nations issued an advisory, that the teams should not go to Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the Women’s T20 World Cup is set to begin on October 3, while the final will take place on October 20.
