South Africa will host cricket’s One-Day World Cup in 2027 together with Zimbabwe and Namibia, giving the country and its neighbours a major boost.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced this yesterday as part of naming host nations for every major men’s limited-overs event between 2024 and 2031.
In this great opportunity for sport in South Africa, the country will be hosting the 50-over One-Day World Cup for the second time since 2003, when Zimbabwe was also a co-host.
