Cricket: South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia to host the Men's Cricket World Cup 2027!

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the host nations for every major ICC men's limited overs event between 2024 and 2031. In October/November 2027, Namibia will host the Men’s Cricket World Cup alongside Zimbabwe and South Africa. South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya co-hosted the Cricket World Cup in 2003, the first to be hosted in Africa. It will be the first time that the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region hosts a global cricket tournament and incidentally, this will be the first-time such games will be staged in Namibia.
The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup ("Cricket World Cup") is the international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), every four years.
