India will host the Women’s (50-over) World Cup in 2025 for the first time since 2013, while Sri Lanka will host the Women’s T20 Champions Trophy in 2027, subject to their team qualifying for the event.
The hosts were selected via a competitive bidding process overseen by an ICC board sub-committee, chaired by former New Zealand cricketer Martin Snedden.
“Accelerating the growth of the women’s game is one of the ICC’s strategic priorities and taking these events to some of our sport’s biggest markets gives us a fantastic opportunity to do that,” said ICC chair Greg Barclay.
The ICC board also approved Lord’s as the host for the World Test Championship finals in 2023 and 2025.
