The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup will be the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup, a biennial Twenty20 International (T20I) tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is scheduled to be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 to 29 June 2024. [1] It will be the first ICC World Cup tournament to feature matches played in the United States, and in any other country in the Americas outside the West Indies. [2] England are the defending champions, having defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.
The tournament will be contested by a record 20 teams, an expansion from 16 teams at the 2022 tournament; they will include the two hosts, the top eight teams from the 2022 edition, the next two teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings, and eight teams determined by regional qualifiers. Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States is participating for the first time by virtue of being co-host.
The 20 qualifying teams will be divided into four groups of five teams; the top two teams in each group will advance to the Super 8 round. [1] [3] In this stage, the qualifying teams will be split into two groups of four; the top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout stage, which will consist of two semi-finals and a final. [4]
In November 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup would be played in the United States and the West Indies. [5] A joint bid was submitted by Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket following two years of preparation, forming part of a strategic partnership between the two associations. [6]
The top eight teams from the 2022 tournament and the two hosts qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining two automatic qualification places were taken by the best-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings which had not already secured a place in the finals, as of 14 November 2022. [7] [8]
The eight remaining places were filled via the ICC's regional qualifiers, consisting of two teams from Africa, Asia, and Europe, along with one team each from the Americas and the East Asia-Pacific groups. [9] In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa. [10]
In July 2023, Ireland and Scotland from the Europe Qualifier became the first two teams to qualify, followed by Papua New Guinea from the East Asia-Pacific Qualifier. [11] [12] Canada secured their qualification in October 2023 after defeating Bermuda in their final match in the Americas Qualifier. [13] The following month, Nepal and Oman qualified after reaching the final of the Asia Qualifier in Nepal, [14] followed by Namibia and Uganda becoming the final two teams to qualify after ensuring a top-two finish in the Africa Qualifier. Zimbabwe became the only Test-playing country that failed to qualify. [15] [16]

In July 2023, the ICC shortlisted four venues in the United States, Central Broward Park in Lauderhill, Florida, Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas, and a temporary stadium at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, New York City. [39] Residents of the Bronx objected to the Van Cortlandt Park stadium, citing that it would restrict public access to the park for an extended period of time, showed concerns for its environmental impact, and questioned the economic viability of the event. [40] [41] On 20 September 2023, the ICC announced that Grand Prairie, Lauderhill, and New York City would serve as the three U.S. host cities during the tournament, with a 34,000-seat temporary stadium instead proposed for Eisenhower Park on Long Island in Nassau County, New York. Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium will be expanded with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas to double their capacity during the tournament. [42] [43] [44] [45]
On 22 September 2023, the ICC announced that venues in Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago would serve as the hosts for the West Indies. [46] Grenada, Jamaica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis did not submit bids to host the World Cup, with Jamaican sports minister Olivia Grange ruling out a bid on cost grounds. [47]
In November 2023, it was reported that Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval, the country's most considerable cricket ground, would not be hosting any World Cup matches and that fixtures would be moved to the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in San Fernando. Nigel Camacho, the president of the Queen's Park Cricket Club, stated that the venue would instead most likely host warm-up matches before the start of the main tournament. Also, the Government of Dominica decided to withdraw its venue, Windsor Park, from hosting any matches of the World Cup citing their inability to complete the infrastructural development of the venue before the tournament commences. [48] [49]
In December 2023, a delegation of representatives from the ICC and CWI undertook a second inspection of the confirmed World Cup host countries in the Caribbean and host cities in the United States, also finalizing the fixtures for the tournament. The Long Island stadium will most notably host the India–Pakistan group stage match, part of what has been considered one of the largest rivalries in the sport. [50] [51]
On 17 January 2024, the ICC unveiled the proposed design of the temporary Long Island stadium—Nassau County International Cricket Stadium—which is expected to be ready by the end of May 2024. [52]
