The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be hosted by the West Indies and the United States. The three USA venues that will host the event are Dallas, Florida, and New York.
The venues were selected following an extensive evaluation of several options. An agreement has been reached for the construction of a 34,000-seat modular stadium in Eisenhower Park, Nassau County, New York, on awarding the required permit next month. The existing venues in Grand Prairie and Broward County will be increased in size by modular stadium solutions to expand seating, media, and premium hospitality areas subject to final agreement.
ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said: “We’re delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy. The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sports market.”
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said: “Nassau County is excited to partner with the ICC to host the Men’s T20 World Cup, one of the most popular sporting events in the world. With more than one billion fans worldwide, this event will attract fans from all around the world to Eisenhower Park.”
A number of other venues around the USA, including George Mason University in Washington, the new home of MLC team Washington Freedom, have also been identified as potential venues for pre-event matches and training.
The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be the first time that the event is staged in the United States. It is a significant milestone for cricket in the country, and it is hoped that the event will help to grow the sport in the USA.
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is one of the most popular sporting events in the world, and it is expected to attract a large audience in the USA. The event will be a major boost for the country’s economy, and it will also help to promote cricket to a new audience.
The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is shaping up to be a major event, and it is sure to be a huge success.
