The ICC has released the hosts for future tournaments, and to our bad luck, Pakistan is not on the list. This has disappointed many fans, as they were expecting a big ICC event in the country.

Upcoming ICC Events:

Year Tournament Host Countries
2026 T20 World Cup India & Sri Lanka
2027 ODI World Cup South Africa, Zimbabwe & Namibia
2028 T20 World Cup Australia & New Zealand
2030 T20 World Cup England, Ireland & Scotland
2031 ODI World Cup India & Bangladesh

Why No ICC Event in Pakistan?

Pakistan has also successfully hosted foreign cricket in the recent past with teams coming over for Test matches, ODIs, and the PSL. Large-scale events such as those organized by ICC would need significant arrangements, and issues of security and logistics could have been the reasons why Pakistan was not assigned a big event this time.

The Hope for the Future

Pakistan is a cricket-crazy country with ardent fans and fabulous stadiums. Organizing a T20 World Cup here would be an experience to remember. With time, things could be different, and hopefully, Pakistan will have the opportunity to host a major ICC event after 2031.

Until then, the fans will just keep supporting their side and waiting for cricket's biggest events to come back to Pakistan sooner rather than later!
