In
a
major
development,
the
global
cricketing
body
has
decided
to
take
T20
World
Cup
to
the
USA
in
a
bid
to
pitch
for
the
Olympics.
Another
big
highlight
of
the
ICC’s
announcement
is
the
return
of
the
Champions
Trophy
–
the
50-over
multi-nation
quadrennial
tournament
–
which
will
be
hosted
in
Pakistan
in
2025.
Pakistan
were
the
winner
of
the
last
edition
of
the
ICC
Champions
Trophy
2017,
held
in
England
and
Wales.

The
ICC
has
confirmed
the
host
nations
for
every
major
ICC
men’s
limited-overs
event
between
2024
and
2031.

In
June
2024,
the
ICC
Men’s
T20
World
Cup
will
go
somewhere
it
has
never
been
before,
with
the
USA
hosting
the
event
alongside
the
West
Indies,
which
staged
the
tournament
in
2010.

Eight
months
later,
in
February
2025,
Pakistan
will
host
the
Men’s
Champions
Trophy.
It
will
be
the
first
major
global
cricket
tournament
played
in
Pakistan
since
1996
when
it
hosted
the
Men’s
Cricket
World
Cup
alongside
India
and
Sri
Lanka.

In
2026,
India
and
Sri
Lanka
will
host
the
Men’s
T20
World
Cup,
before
another
first-time
major
event
hosted
in
2027.

In
October/November
2027,
Namibia
will
host
the
Men’s
Cricket
World
Cup
for
the
first
time
alongside
Zimbabwe
and
South
Africa.
South
Africa
and
Zimbabwe
last
staged
the
event
in
2003.

In
October
2028
the
T20
World
Cup
will
be
played
in
Australia
and
New
Zealand
and
12
months
later
India
will
host
the
Champions
Trophy.

In
2030,
England
will
share
T20
World
Cup
hosting
duties
with
Ireland
and
Scotland.
It
will
be
the
first
time
since
1999
that
Ireland
and
Scotland
have
hosted
a
major
global
cricket
event.

The
final
scheduled
event,
in
October/November
2031,
will
be
the
Men’s
Cricket
World
Cup,
played
in
India
and
Bangladesh.
