Major shake-up in South Asian cricket expected as Bangladesh and India to co-host 2031 ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup. The 50-over showpiece is scheduled to run from 9 October to 23 November 2031 as per ICC Board-approved tournament calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n The co-hosting duty will be included in the ICC\u2019s newly-completed international cricket calendar for men that will be in effect from 2023- 35, providing long-term framework for the ICC\u2019s global broadcast and event planning.<\/p>\n For Bangladesh, co-hosting the sport\u2019s biggest crown jewel is a revolutionary moment in the nation\u2019s lengthy sporting quest.<\/p>\n It is an opportunity for millions of die-hard supporters to see high-calibre international cricket with big-name players take to the international stage on their doorstep.<\/p>\n For India, it continues a recent trend of established cricket powerhouses solidifying their stake as hosts of premier global cricket tournaments, including India\u2019s sole confirmed hosting rights of the 2029 ICC Men\u2019s Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n Cricket bodies, tourism authorities, and business investors are licking their lips at the prospect of co-hosting Bangladesh\u2019s first sojourn in the big leagues, which they believe will generate sprawling benefits for the local economy and stoke further development of world-class infrastructure at cricket venues.<\/p>\n But this cooperative co-hosting arrangement is also a reflection of the emerging convergence of nations within global cricket\u2019s governing landscape.<\/p>\n With as many as five years to organize the tournament, a really productive challenge for the various cricket boards will be to develop a synergistic approach to how the World Cup will be hosted across dozens of venues, training sites, security measures, and even fan registration procedures. In every sense, 2031 will be a spectacle for the ages and a boost for cricket\u2019s global growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
