India to host inaugural iteration of ICC Women’s Champions Trophy
India will host the inaugural edition of the six-team Women’s Champions Trophy. The games will be played in Mumbai and Vadodara between February 14th and February 28th.
The Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and the Vadodara International Stadium will be the two venues. The six teams featuring in the tournament include Australia, Sri Lanka, England, India, New Zealand and South Africa.
In an official statement, the ICC stated, “The ICC assessed three candidates to host the tournament - Bangladesh, India and South Africa - against their established host evaluation criteria before recommending India as the replacement host, a decision ratified by the ICC Board on 1 September.”
The last time Brabourne Stadium hosted an international game was in December 2022 when the Indian women hosted Australia for a T20 series. It also hosted the opening iteration of the WPL in 2023 and numerous games in 2025 and 2026.
