Why cricket is having a resurgence in popularity in America




For the record the T20 World Cup next year will be hosted by the West Indies and the USA

Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago will be the seven venues in the Caribbean that will co-host the 2024 men's T20 World Cup in addition to three cities in the USA shortlisted by ICC earlier this week.

The biennial tournament, which will be played between June 4-30, and being co-hosted by West Indies and the USA will see 20 teams playing a total of 55 matches across the 10 venues. In addition to three cities in the US - Dallas, Florida and New York - seven countries in the Caribbean would be hosting the World Cup, which ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice said in a media release, on Friday, makes it the "biggest" T20 World Cup "ever."
