All you need to know ahead of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, which is live in full on Sky Sports between June 1-29…
Another World Cup?!
Yep. Seven months after England’s atrocious 50-over World Cup title defence in India – at which they lost six of their first seven games and were dumped out in the group stage – and less than two years since they won the T20 version for the second time with victory over Pakistan in the 2022 final in Melbourne, they and 19 other teams are convening in the Caribbean and USA for another global event.
The USA, you say?
Damn right. For the first time in any Cricket World Cup (T20 or 50 over) matches will be held in the good old US of A, with America and West Indies’ joint bid to host the event greenlit by the International Cricket Council in late 2021.
