The International Cricket Council (ICC) released the teaser for T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday.

The teaser features cricketers from different teams which includes Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi.

As hosts, alongside the West Indies, the event will be a groundbreaking occasion for the USA, marking their first global tournament appearance since the Champions Trophy in 2005.

The 2024 tournament, which begins on June 1, will feature a 20-team format divided into two stages before the knockout phase, albeit different from the First Round/Super 12 arrangement seen in the 2021 and 2022 editions.

Pakistan and India will play the most anticipated match on June 9 at Eisenhower Park in New York.

The top two teams from each of the four groups of five will progress to a Super Eights phase, where the remaining sides will be divided into two groups of four. The top two from each group will then advance to the semi-finals.

The Semi-finals of the event will be played on June 26 and 27 in Guyana and Trinidad respectively while the climax of the World Cup will take place in Barbados on June 29.

England are the defending champions after clinching the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, beating Pakistan in the final.
