 The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to be hosted in the West Indies and the United States in June 2024. The Government of Dominica had agreed to host a number of these prestigious games at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium (WPSS).Subsequently, Dominica was shortlisted as a host country for one group stage match and two games in the Super 8 stage of the tournament, subject to the attainment of various obligations as set out in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Officials say several tangible actions were taken both at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium and at Benjamin's Park, including the commencement of upgrading and enhancement of the practice and match venues, various assessments, and the creation of additional pitches where necessary. However, implementation timelines submitted by various contractors revealed that it would not be possible to complete these works within the stipulated timeframe before the commencement of the tournament. As a result, a decision was taken not to host any of the matches in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, as it would not be prudent for the Government of Dominica to commit to hosting these games. Officials say this decision is considered to be in the best interest of all. The government of Dominica thanks Cricket West Indies (CWI) for its partnership over the years and looks forward to continued collaboration in the future. The Government of Dominica extends best wishes to the organizers for a successful tournament in June 2024.
