ICC expands the Women’s T20 World Cup to 16 teams from 2030

Great news for fans of women’s cricket! The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to expand the Women’s T20 World Cup to 16 teams starting from the 2030 edition. This means more countries will get a chance to shine on the global stage.

Currently, only 10 teams play in the Women’s T20 World Cup. While this number is set to increase to 12 in 2026, the decision to further expand the tournament to 16 teams in 2030 is a massive step forward for women’s cricket.

This expansion opens up exciting opportunities for countries that haven’t traditionally been powerhouses in cricket. Teams from places like the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, and the United Arab Emirates, who have shown promise, now have a better chance to qualify for the big stage.

But it’s not just about the top teams. This decision will encourage more countries to invest in women’s cricket. We can expect to see new talent emerge from places you might not expect. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.

While the women’s game is growing rapidly, there’s still a gap compared to the men’s game. By increasing the number of teams in the World Cup, the ICC is taking a big step towards bridging that gap. It’s a clear sign that they’re committed to making women’s cricket as popular and respected as men’s cricket.

Overall, the ICC’s decision to expand the Women’s T20 World Cup is a fantastic development. It’s a game-changer that will inspire young girls to pick up a cricket bat and dream big. With more teams and more opportunities, the future of women’s cricket looks brighter than ever.

Let’s hope this increased focus on women’s cricket leads to more thrilling matches, inspiring role models, and a global fan base that’s as passionate about women’s cricket as it is about the men’s game.
