The Women's T20 World Cup 2024 has been moved out of Bangladesh and will now be held in the UAE.

"It is a shame not to be hosting the Women's T20 World Cup in Bangladesh as we know the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have staged a memorable event," ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement. "I would like to thank the team at the BCB for exploring all avenues to try and enable the event to be hosted in Bangladesh, but travel advisories from the governments of a number of the participating teams meant that wasn't feasible.

"However, they will retain hosting rights. We look forward to taking an ICC global event to Bangladesh in the near future."
