Pakistan has been awarded the hosting rights for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2028, marking a significant achievement for the country’s cricketing landscape and further strengthening its position as a host of major international sporting events.
The decision was confirmed during an ICC Board meeting held in Ahmedabad, where members also approved several important reforms related to playing conditions and the future structure of international tournaments. The announcement reflects growing confidence in Pakistan’s ability to successfully organize and host global cricket competitions.
Under the hybrid model agreed upon between Pakistan and India, matches involving India will be played at a neutral venue rather than in Pakistan. Despite this arrangement, the tournament will largely be staged in Pakistan, providing the country with another opportunity to showcase its cricket infrastructure, organizational capabilities, and passion for the sport to a worldwide audience.
The hosting rights are being viewed as a major boost for women’s cricket in Pakistan and are expected to contribute to the continued growth of the game at both the domestic and international levels. The event is also likely to attract significant global attention, helping enhance Pakistan’s sporting reputation and reinforcing its return as a regular destination for prestigious international cricket tournaments.
