- Inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy 2027 in India
Fears that Sri Lanka Women will find it difficult to qualify for a place in the inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy after having lost the right to host the tournament have been laid to rest by the latest media release from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
“While Sri Lanka will not host the tournament, the Sri Lanka Women’s national team has secured automatic qualification for the competition based on its standing in the current qualification process,” states the release.
“SLC welcomes the qualification of the Sri Lanka Women’s national team and remains committed to providing the team with the necessary support in its preparation for the tournament.
“Sri Lanka Cricket will continue to work closely with the ICC, the host nation of the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure the successful conduct of the inaugural tournament.”
The tournament will be held in India from 14-28 February next year.
