The International Cricket Council (ICC), on Monday, November 4, introduced a Women's Champions Trophy in the Women's Future Tour Programme (FTP) for 2025-29. Sri Lanka will host the inaugural edition in June-July 2027.
The apex board intends to bring in one women’s global tournament every year to popularise women’s cricket.
The inclusion of the Champions Trophy means that there will be three women’s global events over a period of 12 months; the T20 World Cup in September 2028 and the Los Angeles Olympics in August 2028. India Today reported.
Overall, there are five global events in the women’s game over the next five years, also including the T20 World Cups in 2026 and 2028, and two ODI World Cups in 2025 and 2029.
