ICC moves Women's T20 World Cup 2024 out from Bangladesh to UAE amid political unrest

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to move the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup out from Bangladesh to the UAE after a board meeting held virtually on Tuesday in the wake of the politically tense situation in Dhaka.


The ten-team tournament, which is scheduled to begin on Oct 3 with England taking South Africa, will end on the 20th.

The matches will now be held across the two venues in the UAE- Dubai and Sharjah.

Bangladesh remains in turmoil, despite the recent takeover by a new interim government under the leadership of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus.

Keeping in view the prevailing situation, the members of the ICC board meeting agreed that the country cannot host the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) agreed with ICC's decision to move the tournament to the UAE, although they will remain the official host of the event.

The Bangladesh government did make a final effort through the United Nations (UN) to host the tournament, but that proved in vain as countries like Australia, India, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom had issued travel advisories to their citizens against travelling to Bangladesh.

"It is a shame not to be hosting the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have staged a memorable event," ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement.
