India also hosted the previous edition of the ICC T20 World Cup back in 2016. West Indies have crowned champions in the final at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, after defeating England by four wickets.

West Indies became the first team to win the tournament twice, as they had also won in 2012, beating hosts Sri Lanka in the final.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is struggling to finalise the T20 World Cup 2024 timetable, which is expected to be scheduled in October-November. The host is dealing with the second wave of Covid-19, and if the situation did not improve then, BCCI would have to host the T20 World Cup outside the country.

According to reports, the International Cricket Council (ICC) will decide on the T20 world cup in July 2024. On the other side, BCCI is confident that this situation will improve soon, and the World Cup would take place in India as per the schedule.

The 7th edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was previously scheduled in Australia from 18 October to 15 November 2024; it was postponed due to the Covid19 pandemic. ICC announced that Australia would host the 8th edition of the tournament in 2024.
