ICC Reviews T20 World Cup Conduct and Expansion

The ICC has formed a three-member committee to review the conduct and expenses of the 2024 T20 World Cup co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies, amid reports of significant budget overruns and logistical issues. Concurrently, the ICC has approved the expansion of the Women's T20 World Cup to 16 teams by 2030, starting with 10 teams in 2024. The ICC is also monitoring the escalating violence in Bangladesh, which could impact the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup scheduled for October 2024. Bangladesh, the host nation, is facing student protests and security concerns, prompting the ICC to keep a close watch on the situation. Additionally, USA Cricket and Cricket Chile have been given 12 months to comply with ICC membership criteria due to governance issues.
