BCCI Declines to Host Women's T20 World Cup Amid Monsoon and Next Year's World Cup Commitments

The BCCI has rejected the ICC's offer to host the Women's T20 World Cup in October, citing the monsoon season and their commitment to hosting next year's Women's ODI World Cup. BCCI secretary Jay Shah stated that they cannot host consecutive World Cups. The ICC is now likely to consider Sri Lanka and UAE as alternative hosts. The decision comes amid security concerns and a political crisis in Bangladesh, the original host country. The ICC will make a final decision on August 20.
