I Categorically Said No To ICC's Offer To Host 2024 Women's T20 WC: Jay Shah
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina: Jay Shah, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary, has said the organisation has categorically said no to the offer from the International Cricket Council (ICC) to host the upcoming 2024 Women's T20 World Cup in October.
The ICC is considering to shift the ten-team tournament out of Bangladesh due to turmoil and political shake-up, including resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her departure from the country. It has meant serious doubts have risen over Bangladesh hosting the tournament in less than two months’ time.
"They (ICC) have asked us if we would conduct the World Cup. I have categorically said no. We're in the monsoon and on top of that we will host the Women's ODI World Cup next year. I don't want to give any kind of signals that I want to hold consecutive World Cups," Shah was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
