The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board on Sunday approved the windows for major men’s events until 2035 with India hosting the 2029 Champions Trophy from October 9-28 and co-hosting the 2031 ODI World Cup from October 9-November 23. However, the host nations for events beyond beyond 2031 were not announced but dates were made public. The confirmed schedule runs from the 2028 T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand up to the 2035 ODI World Cup.

“The ICC events portfolio and schedule are critical components of cricket’s global architecture and deliver elevated context, competitiveness and consequence to the ecosystem.

“We also recognise the importance of providing athletes and member associations long-term visibility of these events to enable development of improved player pathways, focused high-performance programmes and structured calendars,” ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said.

India will be co-hosting the 2031 ODI showpiece with Bangladesh.

The following edition in 2035 has been confirmed too, and is slated to take place in the October-November period, with the hosts yet to be confirmed.

Following the 2028 T20 World Cup from October 12 to November 12, the tournament will next be held in 2030, with England co-hosting it with Scotland and Ireland.

The next two editions are slated to take place in 2032 and 2034, with the venues yet to be decided.

The World Test Championship Final will continue to remain a biennial fixture in June till 2035. England will be the hosts for the 2029 and 2031 editions as well, while the hosts are to be confirmed for 2033 and 2035.
