The International Cricket Council (ICC) has made a great statement about the T20 World Cup. The ICC said on Monday that hosting the World Cup every two years is very important for the development of cricket, as all members play this format. Last week, the ICC announced tournaments between 2024 and 2031, in which one tournament will be played each year.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardyce said: “Different tournaments will be played in different formats. It is a good decision to have the T20 World Cup every two years, because all members play this format and it is good for the development of cricket.” It will remain. “Allardyce said:” The recent tournament in the United Arab Emirates and Oman was the first T20 World Cup in five years. With so much international T20 cricket being played these days, the gap was long. We want to have it once every two years. Hey. ”
Regarding the ICC Champions Trophy, he said: “It is a very popular tournament. It is also very interesting in the short and ODI format. It is a good tournament in the middle of the four-year cycle of the Cricket World Cup.” The Champions Trophy was last held in 2017 and will now be played in 2025.
At the recent T20 World Cup, only the teams that chose to bowl after winning the draw won. When asked about this, Allardyce said it won’t happen next time. He said: “In cricket it happens that when things start to happen as a trend, teams and opponents start looking for answers. When this tournament is played in Australia, it will not happen.”
Last week, the ICC established a task force to review cricket in light of recent political developments in Afghanistan. ICC President Greg Barkley said: “Afghanistan is a full-time member of the ICC. We want to continue to support the women’s and men’s cricket program there. We will continue to do so, but we will remain a member of the ICC, with certain criteria.” We have not seen his violation and as members of the ICC, we will continue to help him. “
