India prepares to host the Women’s World Cup: India will host the Women’s World Cup in 2025. That is, in 2025, India will host the Women’s ODI World Cup for the fifth time. For the first time since 2016, India has the opportunity to host a women’s world tournament. In 2016, it hosted the women’s T20 World Cup alongside the men’s.
There will be no changes in the format of the World Cup to be played in India
The World Cup to be held in 2025 will be completely similar to the 2022 edition. About 8 teams will participate in this tournament and a total of 31 matches will be played. In the previous World Cup, the same number of matches were also played between the same teams.
England will host the T20 Women’s World Cup
Previously, England will host the T20 World Cup in 2024 and 2026. If Sri Lanka qualifies, it will be awarded the venue for the Inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy in 2027. These four prestigious women’s world events are part of the next cycle of the Future Tour program of ICC. The decision on the venues for these four tournaments was made on the last day of the annual conference in Birmingham on Thursday.
There will be an increase in the number of teams in the T20 World Cup
The ICC has decided to increase the number of teams in the Women’s T20 World Cup as men. There will be a total of 12 teams in the T20 World Cup to be played in 2026, among which 33 matches will be played. This tournament will be held in England for the first time. England consistently perform well in women’s cricket, which is why the ICC has decided to make it a priority.
India-England match turning point of women’s cricket
In 2017, Heather Knight won the ODI World Cup by defeating India to a packed stadium at Lord’s. This match proved to be the turning point for women’s cricket. After this match, apart from the ICC, all its member countries and sponsors decided to promote women’s cricket. Claire Connor, former captain of the England women’s team and acting chief executive of the English Cricket Board, recalled that the match wowed everyone. It is a magical day.
