The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Wednesday that Dallas, Florida and New York have been picked as hosts of next year’s Men’s T20 World Cup.
The 2024 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies.
Grand Prairie in Dallas, Broward County in Florida and Nassau County in New York will be T20 World Cup 2024 venues as the event is staged in the USA for the first time.
In this connection, an agreement has been reached for the construction of a 34,000-seat modular stadium in Eisenhower Park, a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, on awarding of the required permit next month. The existing venues in Grand Prairie and Broward County will be increased in size by modular stadium solutions to expand seating, media and premium hospitality areas subject to final agreement.
