T20 giants and minnows ready to battle in USA and Caribbean

Cricket’s global expansion faces a test with the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and USA. The tournament features a record 20 teams, including debutants like USA, Canada, and Uganda. While aiming to spike curiosity in the American market, the focus remains on celebrating existing cricket fans, especially from immigrant communities. The ICC also sees it as a potential pathway to cricket’s return to the Olympics in 2028.
