The International Cricket Council (ICC) has finalized a tentative outline of the international cricket calendar from 2032 to 2035. A total of six major ICC tournaments are planned during this four-year cycle. It will begin with the proposed T20 World Cup in October-November 2032 and conclude with the ODI World Cup in 2035. Importantly, two major ICC tournaments are planned for 2033 and 2035. However, this calendar is still pending final approval.

ICC 2032-2035 Schedule: 6 major tournaments to be held in 4 years, know when the T20 and ODI World Cups will be held

This will be the possible ICC calendar from 2032 to 2035.

According to the ICC’s proposed schedule, major tournaments in T20, ODI, and Test cricket will be held over the next four years. The plan is to hold at least one major global event each year during this period. The tentative schedule is as follows:

• 2032: T20 World Cup, October-November.
• 2033: World Test Championship final, June.
• 2033: Champions Trophy, October.
• 2034: T20 World Cup, July.
• 2035: World Test Championship final, date not decided.
• 2035: ODI World Cup, date not fixed.

At present, the host country and venue of any tournament have not been officially announced.

Champions Trophy in 2033, situation is not clear regarding the format

The proposed calendar indicates a busy year for cricket in 2033. The World Test Championship final is planned for June and the Champions Trophy in October. However, the format of the Champions Trophy remains unclear.

The current proposal includes an eight-team Champions Trophy. However, the ICC has not yet clarified whether the tournament will follow the same format in 2033 or whether it will be modified. There is also no official decision on which country will host it.

Meanwhile, England is being considered as a potential host for the World Test Championship final, scheduled for June. However, the ICC has not confirmed the venue for the 2033 final.

T20 World Cup to be held in July 2034

The 2034 calendar proposes July as the venue for the T20 World Cup. This timing is interesting from a cricketing perspective, as July also coincides with the domestic cricket season in England. Therefore, further discussions regarding the tournament’s hosting and venues are likely. The ICC has not yet finalized any country.

WTC Final and ODI World Cup in 2035

Cricket fans could also expect to see two major international tournaments in 2035. The World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup are planned for this year. However, the dates and venues for both tournaments have not yet been finalized.

If the proposed schedule is approved, 2035 will be a significant year for international cricket. On one hand, the Test cricket champions will be decided, while on the other, teams will compete to become world champions in ODI cricket.

ICC’s Bali meeting also discussed WTC and franchise leagues

The ICC Board and Committee meetings are being held in Bali, Indonesia, from November 11 to 15, 2026. The meeting is considering the possible timing of major tournaments from 2032 to 2035. The 2027-29 and 2029-31 World Test Championship cycles will also be discussed.

The meeting will also consider the growing number of franchise cricket leagues. The recommendations of the Franchise League Review Group, headed by Tamim Iqbal of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, will be discussed. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia is also a member.

The ICC aims to review the current approval process and regulations for franchise leagues, to better align international cricket and domestic franchise competitions.

Revenue sharing will also be monitored.

The issue of revenue distribution among member countries is also under discussion at the Bali meeting. According to available reports, approximately US$650 million is being considered for the current cycle to be distributed among member countries. This could be based on the existing revenue sharing formula.

Overall, the proposed calendar from 2032 to 2035 is expected to be a significant one for international cricket. However, the final picture regarding tournament dates, host countries, and the format of the Champions Trophy will only be clear after official approval from the ICC.
