The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the hosts of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2028. In the board meeting, held on the sidelines of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final in Ahmedabad, the ICC also decided the qualification pathway for the event.
No IND vs PAK match in Pakistan
As expected, India will play Pakistan at a neutral venue. Before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which was co-hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the PCB and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had agreed upon playing each other in multi-national tournaments at neutral venues.
As part of the agreement, PCB will host the majority of the matches in Pakistan, but India won’t travel. Dubai might host the Women in Blue, like the men’s team in the Champions Trophy. But the ICC hasn’t confirmed the neutral venue yet.
“The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2028, to be hosted by the PCB, with India matches played at a neutral venue,” the ICC said in a release.
