Caribbean cricket enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The Windsor Park Sports Stadium in Dominica is gearing up to be one of the star venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
From June 4 to 30, cricket fever will sweep through seven picturesque Caribbean locations: Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago, along with three vibrant cities in the USA – Dallas, Florida, and New York.
ICC Chief Executive, Geoff Allardice, couldn’t contain his excitement, stating, “We’re delighted to announce the seven Caribbean venues that will host the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy.” He emphasized that these venues are beloved by players and fans alike, offering the perfect backdrop for thrilling matches.
Cricket West Indies CEO, Johnny Grave, shared his enthusiasm, highlighting the significance of this cricket extravaganza for the Caribbean. “This is an exciting moment as we announce our venues approved to host the largest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in history, with 20 teams playing in 55 matches in June next year,” he said.
He thanked the host governments for their unwavering support, ensuring that the event will be one for the ages. Grave expressed confidence that the region will deliver “a world-class tournament,” showcasing the unique culture and carnival atmosphere of the Caribbean.
He added, “Together, we will deliver a world-class tournament, ensuring a real celebration of the sport next June.”
