The upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024 promises to be a spectacle, with India and Pakistan set to face off in a pop-up stadium in New York.
According to The Guardian, 10 teams, including India and Pakistan, will play all their opening group-stage matches in the USA, co-hosted with the West Indies. The organizers aim to leverage the large cricket-loving expat communities in America.
While some schedule adjustments are still possible, England and Australia will exclusively play their group games in the Caribbean. England's matches are expected to be held in popular tourist destinations such as Antigua, Barbados, and St Lucia, while Australia will visit other venues in St Vincent, Guyana, and Trinidad.
