2024 Women's T20 World Cup Moved to UAE

Hosting Change Due to Civil Unrest in Bangladesh

Key Points:

* The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup has been relocated from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). * Civil unrest in Bangladesh prompted the International Cricket Council (ICC) to make the change. * The tournament will be played in the UAE in October.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will be moved from Bangladesh to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The decision was made due to the ongoing civil unrest in Bangladesh. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Bangladesh from October 16 to November 16, 2024.

The ICC said in a statement that it was "disappointed" to have to move the tournament, but that the safety of players, officials, and fans was its top priority.

The UAE has hosted several major cricket tournaments in recent years, including the 2021 Men's T20 World Cup.

The Women's T20 World Cup is the premier international cricket tournament for women. The tournament is held every two years, and the next edition will be the ninth edition of the tournament.

Bangladesh was awarded the hosting rights for the 2024 tournament in 2020. However, the country has been experiencing political turmoil in recent months, and the ICC decided to move the tournament to a safer location.

The UAE is a more stable country than Bangladesh, and it has the infrastructure in place to host a major cricket tournament. The UAE has also hosted several major sporting events in recent years, including the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup.

The ICC's decision to move the tournament to the UAE is a disappointment for Bangladesh, but it is the right decision for the safety of the players, officials, and fans.
