The International Cricket Council is all set to expand the Women\u2019s ODI World Cup to 10 teams from the next edition, which will be played in 2029, the board announced during its meeting on Friday.<\/p>\n

India won its first-ever global trophy in women\u2019s cricket, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final played in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, November 2. The ICC reaffirmed its commitment to advancing women\u2019s cricket, citing the success of the Women\u2019s World Cup in India as proof of its enduring belief in the women\u2019s game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost three lakh fans attended games in stadiums, <\/span>a record for any women\u2019s cricket tournament. The event saw a surge in global viewership as well, with close to 500 million viewers in India alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Buoyed by this success, ICC has decided to expand the next edition of the Women\u2019s ODI World Cup to 10 teams, up from eight this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the LA28 Olympics, both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s T20 cricket events will feature six teams each, with a total of 28 games to be played. <\/span><\/p>\n

Qualification<\/strong><\/p>\n

With two more teams to feature in 2029, it needs to be seen how the ICC chalks out a qualification scenario. For the 2025 edition, India qualified as the host nation.<\/p>\n

Australia, England, New Zealand, runners-up South Africa and Sri Lanka were the top five teams (excluding India) in the Women\u2019s ODI Championship, which began in 2022 and ended this year and hence qualified.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh and Pakistan qualified after finishing as the top two teams in the World Cup qualifier. The Windies, semi-finalists in the previous 2022 edition, couldn\u2019t qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 2000 <\/span>and for the first time in the tournament\u2019s history under ICC management.<\/span><\/p>\n

ICC also ratified multiple new appointments to the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket Committee, including Ashley De Silva, former Indian cricketer <\/span>Mithali<\/span> Raj, India head coach Amol <\/span>Muzumdar<\/span>, Ben Sawyer, Charlotte Edwards and Sala Stella <\/span>Siale-Vaea<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
