Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has started the ticket sales for the marquee tournament with a public ballot.
The 2024 edition, which will take place from 1 to 29 June, will be the largest-ever T20 World Cup with 55 matches to be played across nine cities – three in the USA and six in the Caribbean.
Arch rivals India and Pakistan will face each other in New York on June 9 in a Group A match of the tournament. India will open their World Cup campaign with a match against Ireland on June 5 in New York.
The schedule for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup was announced last month.
ICC said that to give the fans a fair and equitable chance to apply for tickets to the world’s biggest T20 carnival, they have kept a public ticket ballot in operation. Here's all you need to know:
