ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould added: \u201cWe are hugely excited for the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026, and thrilled to be able to confirm the seven iconic venues that will host the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is of course extra special to announce that the final will be taking place at Lord\u2019s. It is one of the finest venues in world cricket and every cricketer dreams of being part of occasions like a World Cup final at Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will be the biggest women\u2019s cricket event ever staged in England and Wales and is undoubtedly an opportunity to take the game to more people than ever before and welcome in new fans \u2013 young and old.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrucially though this isn\u2019t just about scale, it\u2019s about providing a world-class experience for players, fans and broadcasters alike, ensuring that the tournament reflects the elite performance of the players on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want this competition to be part of a long-term movement, and not just a single moment in time. This World Cup will grow a new generation of fans who didn\u2019t grow up with women\u2019s cricket but will never imagine sport without it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould added: \u201cWe are hugely excited for the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[15034,1500,1406,15036,12,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-65077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-app-stream","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-highlighted-news","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114431396658094127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
