The government of Dominica has taken a decision not to host any matches the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 due to the country’s inability to meet implementation timelines.<\/p>\n

A statement from the government announcing that decision is posted below.<\/p>\n

The ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup is scheduled to be hosted in the West Indies and the United States in June 2024. The Government of Dominica expressed its interest to host a number of these prestigious games at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium (WPSS), and subsequently, Dominica was shortlisted as a Host Country for one group stage match and two games in the Super 8 stage of the tournament, subject to the attainment of various obligations as set out in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).<\/p>\n

Several tangible actions were taken both at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium and at the Benjamin\u2019s Park including the commencement of upgrading and enhancement of the practice and match venues, various assessments and the creation of additional pitches where necessary.<\/p>\n

However, the implementation timelines submitted by the various contractors revealed that it would not be possible to complete these works within the stipulated timeframe before the commencement of the tournament. As a result, a decision was taken not to host any of the matches in the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 as it would not be prudent for the Government of Dominica to commit to hosting these games.<\/p>\n

In light of Dominica\u2019s sterling reputation in hosting international cricket, this decision is considered to be in the best interest of all. The Government of Dominica thanks Cricket West Indies (CWI) for its partnership over the years and looks forward to continued collaboration in the future. The Government of Dominica extends best wishes to the
\norganisers for a successful tournament in June 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The government of Dominica has taken a decision not to host any matches the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024 due to the country’s inability to meet implementation timelines.
