Dubai: The International Cricket Council’s Executive Board has decided to increase the number of teams in the biennial World Twenty20 Championships from 12 to 16 for the editions commencing 2014.
The ICC Board received a report of the strategic discussions held at the Chief Executive’s Committee (CEC) in March and confirmed the “increase, from 2014 onwards, the number of teams participating in the ICC World T20 from 12 to 16 men’s teams.
“The event should remain a joint men’s and women’s event,” it said.
“Three additional Twenty20 Internationals may be played in the year in which the ICC World Twenty20 is being staged provided there is a corresponding reduction in the maximum number of permitted ODIs (as per ICC Scheduling guidelines – the current regulations permit a maximum of 12 T20Is for each Full Member in any one year).”
