Bangladesh among 17 interested to host ICC events

Bangladesh are among 17 member nations that have expressed their interests in hosting ICC men's white-ball events to be held in 2024-2031 cycle. 

Eight men's ODI and T20 events, including two ICC Men's Cricket World Cups, four ICC Men's T20 World Cups and two ICC Champions Trophies, will be staged from 2024-2031 and ICC Members were invited to submit a preliminary technical proposal as a potential host. This included individual country submissions as well as joint proposals.
Other than Bangladesh, the countries that have expressed their interests are Australia, England, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Namibia, New Zealand, Oman, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, UAE, USA and Zimbabwe.

"We are delighted with the response from our Members to hosting ICC men's white-ball events post 2023. This process gives us an opportunity to extend our range of hosts and grow interest in cricket worldwide reaching more fans whilst creating a long-term legacy for the sport," ICC acting CEO Geoff Allardice was quoted as saying in a statement by ICC.

ICC also mentioned that the hosts of the World Test Championship Final, the ICC women's and under-19 events in the new cycle will be determined in a separate process that will get underway later this year.
At that time the global cricketing body will also move forward to the second phase of the process in selecting hosts for ICC men's events during the said cycle once the interested members provide "a more detailed proposal".   

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan had earlier mentioned that Bangladesh does not possess the required infrastructure to host a World Cup all by itself but the board would be willing to host World Cup jointly with another Asian country while expressing their interest in being the sole host of one of the Champions Trophies in the upcoming cycle.
