The International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to approve its global events calendar for the 2032-35 cycle. The proposed schedule features six major men's tournaments across four years.
The ICC members are currently meeting in Bali to discuss the future calendar and other key matters. The meeting is also expected to cover franchise league regulations and revenue distribution.
ICC 2032-35 Calendar: Two T20 World Cups, Champions Trophy and ODI World Cup Planned
According to a report by Cricbuzz, the 2032-35 cycle will begin with the T20 World Cup in October-November 2032. However, the ICC has yet to announce the host country or venue for the tournament.
The 2033 calendar will feature two global events, starting with the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June. An eight-team Champions Trophy is then scheduled for October, although neither event's venue has been confirmed by the ICC yet.
A second T20 World Cup of the cycle is planned for July 2034. However, the ICC has not named a host for the tournament, with the venue and other details still to be decided ahead of the event.
The final year of the cycle, 2035, will feature the WTC final and the ODI World Cup. The ICC has not announced windows for either event, while England will host the 2027, 2029 and 2031 WTC finals.
ICC to Review Franchise League Regulations, Revenue Distribution Also on Agenda
Apart from the global events calendar, the ICC Board will also discuss the recommendations made by its Franchise League Review Group. The group aims to improve the rules and regulations for franchise leagues around the world.
The Tamim Iqbal-led group is reviewing existing rules, which could lead to changes in how the ICC approves franchise leagues worldwide, especially as the number of such competitions continues to increase.
The ICC is also expected to approve the revenue distribution for the current cycle. Around USD 650 million will be shared among its members, with the existing revenue-sharing formula expected to remain unchanged.
