With more teams and a new format, the 2024 edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is certain to throw up new match-ups and historic moments.
Following the recent results in the Africa Qualifier, the 20 teams for the tournament are finalized. Namibia and Uganda were the last two teams to book tickets, joining six other teams to come through regional qualifying.
Qualifying as hosts alongside the West Indies, the tournament will be a ground-breaking event for the USA, and the first global tournament appearance outside of a Champions Trophy in 2005.
The 20-team tournament proper in 2024 will work in two phases before the knockouts, though in a different framework from the First Round/Super 12 format at the 2021 and 2022 editions.
The top two teams in each of the four groups of five will move to a Super Eights phase, where the remaining sides split into two groups of four. The top two in each group will then make their way to the semi-finals.
