The International Cricket Council (ICC)\u00a0had confirmed that the inaugural ICC Women\u2019s Champions Trophy 2027 will be staged in\u00a0the Indian cities of Mumbai and Vadodara from 14 to 28 February.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai and the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium will be the venues for the landmark tournament that will bring together six of the world\u2019s leading women\u2019s cricket teams – Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those six teams, who qualified as per their positions in the ICC Women\u2019s T20I Team Rankings on the 6 July qualification cut-off date, will compete in a round-robin league, with the top two sides advancing to the final on 28 February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka but will now be staged in India as Sri Lanka Cricket continues to make the requisite reforms outlined at the ICC\u2019s Annual Conference in July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ICC assessed three candidates – Bangladesh, India and South Africa – against its established host evaluation criteria before recommending India as the replacement host, a decision ratified by the ICC Board on 2 September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICC Chairman, Mr. Jay Shah, said: \u201cThe ICC Women\u2019s Champions Trophy 2027 marks an exciting new chapter for women\u2019s cricket. As the inaugural edition of the tournament, it will bring together the best teams in the world in an intense, high-quality competition, while creating even greater incentive for teams to continue rising through the rankings and competing for a place on the global stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith a marquee ICC women\u2019s event now taking place every year, we have a significant opportunity to build greater momentum, provide more consistency and create a stronger rhythm for the women\u2019s game, its players and its fans around the world.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
