India Set to Host Major ICC Cricket Events Until 2035

ICC Announces Future Cricket Event Schedule

On Sunday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) Board confirmed the schedule for significant men's cricket tournaments extending to 2035. Notably, India will host the Champions Trophy from October 9 to 28 in 2029 and will co-host the ODI World Cup with Bangladesh from October 9 to November 23 in 2031.

This will mark the first time India has hosted the Champions Trophy since 2006, while the ODI World Cup's return to India in 2031 has also been officially recognized by the ICC.

India previously hosted the ODI World Cup in the same October-November timeframe in 2023, and the 2027 edition will occur in South Africa during those months. The 2031 ODI World Cup will be a joint effort with Bangladesh.

Although the host nations for events beyond 2031 remain unannounced, the ICC has revealed the dates for upcoming tournaments.

The confirmed schedule includes the 2028 T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, leading up to the 2035 ODI World Cup.

Sanjog Gupta, the ICC CEO, emphasized the significance of the ICC events portfolio, stating that it enhances the competitive landscape of cricket globally. He noted that these tournaments are crucial for fans and players, fostering aspirations and access within the cricketing community.

Gupta also highlighted the importance of providing long-term visibility for athletes and member associations, which aids in developing better player pathways and structured high-performance programs.

The 2035 edition has also been confirmed for the October-November period, with the host yet to be determined.

Following the 2028 T20 World Cup, scheduled from October 12 to November 12, the next tournament will take place in 2030, co-hosted by England, Scotland, and Ireland.

The subsequent editions are planned for 2032 and 2034, with venues still to be finalized.

The World Test Championship Final will continue to be held biennially in June until 2035, with England hosting the 2029 and 2031 editions, while hosts for 2033 and 2035 are yet to be confirmed.
