The 2024 Men's T20 World Cup is set to take place from June 4 to 30 next year in the Caribbean and the USA, spanning 10 venues, according to information obtained by ESPNcricinfo.
An ICC team conducted inspections of potential venues in the USA this week, marking the first time the country will host an international global cricket event. These venues include Lauderhill in Florida, which has previously hosted international matches (and is set to host West Indies vs India in the coming weeks), as well as Morrisville, Dallas, and New York for tournament matches and warm-up games.
Before the regional qualifiers, 12 teams had already secured their spots in the tournament, including hosts West Indies and the USA. The remaining eight were the top teams from the 2022 T20 World Cup: Australia, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan and Bangladesh also qualified based on their positions in the T20I rankings, completing the 20-team roster.
The format for the 2024 World Cup will differ from the last two editions (2020-21 in the UAE and 2022 in Australia), where there was a first round followed by Super 12s. In the upcoming tournament, the 20 teams will be divided into four groups of five in the initial round, with the top two from each group advancing to the Super 8s. The Super 8 teams will then be split into two groups of four, with the top two from each group progressing to the semi-final.
