T20 World Cup 2024   

 The next event for the England Deaf team will be the T20 World Cup to be played in Dubai.

Last year, the World Cup host Qatar sensationally cancelled the event at the last minute with only two weeks notice. Our sources indicate that this was a consequence of financial resources having been diverted to assist the humanitarian needs in Gaza.


In a letter to all its members on January 14th, the DICC Executive Committee expressed their gratitude to the new hosts Sports Spice with special mentions to Mr. Zahir-Ur-Udin Babar (DICC CEO, all DICC members, the ICC, volunteers and the participating countries to embark on the re-scheduled competition.
