Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) today confirmed Sri Lanka as co-hosts for the first-ever Women’s T20 World Cup Cricket for the Blind, alongside India from November 11 to 25, 2025.

Originally planned across New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kathmandu (Nepal), the Executive Committee of the World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC), in its virtual meeting on September 15, finalized Colombo, Sri Lanka as the neutral venue for fixtures involving Pakistan and as an additional host city for the tournament, owing to the prevailing situation in Nepal.

CABI officials will soon begin consultations with their counterparts in Colombo to oversee arrangements.

The tournament will feature 21 league matches, two semi-finals, and a grand finale, with games spread across New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Colombo.

Speaking on the upcoming World Cup Dr. Mahantesh G. Kivadasannavar, Chairman of CABI said, "This World Cup is more than just a tournament, it is a celebration of courage, skill, and inclusion. Hosting it in India is a matter of pride, and I am confident our girls will rise to the occasion, inspire millions, and make the nation proud."

The tournament will feature teams from Australia, England, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the USA.
