A year after the success of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020, the International Cricket Council has announced the expansion of women’s cricket events post the 2023 cycle. More teams will compete in both the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup from 2026 onwards as part of the governing body’s long-term commitment to growing the game globally and in a sustainable fashion.
