The BCCI is set to host two ICC events in the next three years. The T20 World Cup is slated to happen later this year in India, while the country will also host the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2023.
The 8th Apex Council Meeting of the BCCI happened virtually on Sunday (June 20). A senior office-bearer informed PTI that the board decided to bid for the three events mentioned above in the same meeting.
The T20 World Cup and the 50-over World Cup are important parts of the ICC’s schedule. However, the international cricket governing body decided to scrap the Champions Trophy after the 2017 edition of the tournament.
Interestingly, the ICC took a U-turn this year as the board announced the return of the Champions Trophy in 2025. BCCI has now shown interest in hosting the event.

The senior office bearer further added that India should be in a position to host an ICC event every two or three years. Hence, the BCCI was looking forward to hosting the 2025 Champions Trophy after the 2021 T20 World Cup and the 2023 50-over World Cup.
