Apart from hosting the 2031 ODI World Cup with Bangladesh, India will also co-host the 2026 T20 World Cup with Sri Lanka and host the 2029 Champions Trophy.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has been awarded the hosting rights of the 2025 Champions Trophy.

It will be the first major global cricket tournament played in Pakistan since 1996 when it co-hosted the Men's Cricket World Cup with India.

The surprising fact is that the USA will host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024 for the first time alongside West Indies.
