The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has approved the windows for the established major men’s events until 2035, following its meetings in Bali, Indonesia.
This includes the Men’s Cricket World Cup, the Men’s T20 World Cup, the Men’s Champions Trophy and the World Test Championship final.
The confirmed schedule runs from the Men’s T20 World Cup 2028 in Australia and New Zealand up to the Men’s Cricket World Cup 2035.
ICC CEO, Sanjog Gupta, said: “The ICC events portfolio and schedule are critical components of cricket’s global architecture and deliver elevated context, competitiveness and consequence to the ecosystem. These tournaments serve as pinnacle moments for fans and players alike, with the associated pathways driving aspiration and access for the broader cricketing landscape.
“We also recognise the importance of providing athletes and member associations long-term visibility of these events to enable development of improved player pathways, focused high-performance programmes and structured calendars”, he added.
Following the 11th edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which takes place from 12 October to 12 November 2028, the tournament will next be held in 2030, with England co-hosting it with Scotland and Ireland.
The next two editions will take place in 2032 and 2034, with the venues yet to be decided. After next year’s Men’s Cricket World Cup in southern Africa, the tournament returns to the subcontinent, with India and Bangladesh co-hosting from 9 October to 23 November.
The following edition in 2035 has been confirmed too, and is slated to take place in the October-November period, with the hosts yet to be confirmed.
The World Test Championship final will continue to be held every two years in June until 2035. England will also host the 2029 and 2031 editions, while hosts for 2033 and 2035 are yet to be confirmed.
The Men’s Champions Trophy will take place in India from 9 to 28 October, with the subsequent edition also taking place in October in 2033.
As of now, Australia hold the Men’s Cricket World Cup, South Africa have the World Test Championship Mace, while India hold both the Men’s T20 World Cup and Men’s Champions Trophy.
