Women’s T20 World Cup switches to UAE

The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 has been moved out of Bangladesh and will now be held in the United Arab Emirates.

The venue had to be changed by the ICC in the aftermath of the countrywide anti-government agitations in Bangladesh through July and Early August, which ended when Sheikh Hasina, the Prime Minister, resigned and fled to India.

An interim government has been put in place since, but incidents of vandalism and looting, as well as acts of violence, have still been reported from Bangladesh.

The Bangladesh government had made last-ditch efforts through the United Nations to hold on to the World Cup hosting rights, but some countries, including Australia, India, New Zealand and the United Kingdom had issued travel advisories to their citizens against travelling to Bangladesh.

Matches will now be held in Dubai and Sharjah for the 10-team tournament which will run from October 3-20.
