ICC Transfers Women's Champions Trophy Hosting from Sri Lanka to India
The International Cricket Council has announced that the inaugural Women's Champions Trophy, originally set to take place in Sri Lanka, will now be hosted in India.
Sri Lanka was stripped of its hosting rights due to ongoing problems with its national cricket board and government interference. The ICC confirmed that India will replace Sri Lanka as the venue for the six-team tournament, with matches scheduled in Mumbai and Vadodara.
The tournament will feature Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka, all of which qualified based on their rankings as of July 6. Unlike the men's Champions Trophy, this event will be played in a T20 format with a round-robin structure leading to a final.
