As per ESPNcricinfo, Zimbabwe have expressed an interest in hosting the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 later this year. The tournament was due to take place from October 3 to 20 in Bangladesh, but it's likely to get a new venue due to the ongoing socio-political unrest in the Asian country.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe want to project themselves as a key destination for ICC events following the successful hosting of two ODI World Cup Qualifiers (2018 and 2023). They co-hosted the Men's World Cup in 2003 along with South Africa and Kenya.
The United Arab Emirates are being considered as another option by the International Cricket Council after India reportedly ruled themselves out of the race. Although, both countries will not be participating in the tournament, they are eager to act as neutral hosts. The final decision on the venue is to be made by the ICC on Tuesday, August 20.
Moreover, the weather will also be favorable during October in Zimbabwe, as they will be entering the summer season. As per reports, the key reason for India and Sri Lanka not being in contention is due to weather-related issues.
Zimbabwe to co-host men's 2026 Under-19 World Cup and 2027 ODI World Cup
The African country has been announced as the hosts for the men's 2026 Under-19 World Cup along with Namibia. Furthermore, they are tasked with responsibility to organize the much-awaited 2027 ODI World Cup along with South Africa and Namibia.
Interestingly, Zimbabwe are likely to have two more venues ready ahead of the 2027 World Cup. As per reports, government authorities are building multi-purpose facilities in Victoria Falls and Mutare.
Currently, the country has two primary venues: Harare Sports Club and Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, who will host the Women's World Cup, if things fall into place for Zimbabwe Cricket.
