The Puzzle of Planning for the T20 World Cup 2024
Planning for the T20 World Cup 2024 is no walk in the park. The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently shared that putting together the schedule for the tournament in the United States and West Indies has been a real brain-teaser. With a record 20 teams participating, up from 16 in the previous edition, and matches scattered across nine different locations in North America, the organizers are juggling a complex puzzle.
Meet Nassau County Stadium
Adding to the buzz is the reveal of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. This new stadium is not your typical cricket venue, it’s a ground breaking project with a unique design. In just three short months, it will stand tall with a seating capacity of 34,000, ready to host eight T20 World Cup 2024 matches. One of the highlights? A much anticipated clash between cricket giants India and Pakistan is on the cards for June 9.
What makes this project even more special is its commitment to sustainability.
