Mullanpur, Thiruvananthapuram, and Raipur Set to Host ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be hosted in India, with the tournament taking place across five venues: Vishakhapatnam, Thiruvananthapuram, Raipur, Indore, and Mullanpur, which will host the final of this major event in women’s cricket.
Mullanpur, Thiruvananthapuram, and Raipur have never hosted a Women’s ODI, while Nehru Stadium in Indore has hosted two, including one during the 1997 World Cup. However, the upcoming event will be played at the Holkar Stadium. The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam has hosted six women’s T20Is and five women’s ODIs.
Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and host India have already qualified for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025. The last two spots will be decided through the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, which will take place in Lahore starting April 9.
If Pakistan qualifies for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, the tournament will be played in a hybrid model. In this case, some parts of the event are expected to be hosted by the UAE and Sri Lanka. This is due to an agreement between the BCCI and PCB, which means they won’t travel to each other’s countries until 2027.
