The selected venues include Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago. In addition to these Caribbean locations, three venues in the United States – Dallas, Florida, and New York – will also host matches.
Geoff Allardice, the Chief Executive of ICC, expressed his delight over the announcement. He stated that these venues are popular among both players and fans, and they will provide a wonderful backdrop to the event.
