The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to move the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup out from Bangladesh to the UAE following a board meeting held virtually on Tuesday.

The ten-team tournament, which will begin on October 3, with England taking South Africa, and end on the 20th, will take place across the two venues in the UAE – Dubai and Sharjah

Bangladesh remain in turmoil, despite the recent takeover by a new government and hence the members of the ICC board meeting agreed that the country cannot host the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) agreed with ICC’s decision to move the tournament to the UAE, although they will remain the official host of the event.
