Sri Lanka is set to lose at least USD 20 million after the ICC stripped it of hosting rights for the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy 2027. India will host the six-team tournament in Mumbai and Vadodara from February 14-28 amid concerns over political interference in Sri Lanka Cricket.
New Delhi: Sri Lanka are reportedly set to suffer an estimated loss of at least USD 20 million after the International Cricket Council formally stripped the country of hosting rights for the inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy, with India confirmed as the new venue for the six-team tournament in February 2027.
The ICC Board ratified the relocation on Tuesday, bringing an end to Sri Lanka’s hopes of staging the event and delivering a significant economic setback to the country, which had expected the tournament to generate substantial returns through tourism, commercial activity and global exposure.
The event will now be held from February 14 to 28, 2027, with matches scheduled in Mumbai and Vadodara.
The decision is rooted in the ICC’s continuing concerns over the governance of Sri Lanka Cricket, which remains under a government-appointed Transformation Committee rather than an elected administration recognised by the world body.
