India to Host Inaugural ICC Women's Champions Trophy 2027 After Sri Lanka Loses Hosting Rights
The ICC has relocated the inaugural Women's Champions Trophy 2027 from Sri Lanka to India due to ongoing governance issues within Sri Lanka Cricket, which remains under a government-appointed Transformation Committee. The six-team T20I tournament will be held from February 14 to 28 in Mumbai and Vadodara, featuring Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. India was selected over Bangladesh and South Africa as the replacement host after evaluation. The event aims to enhance momentum and visibility for women's cricket globally.
