Given that the BCCI is planning to submit a bid for the major event, India is almost certain to host the Women's 50-over World Cup in 2025. The ICC flagship event will return to India after more than ten years if India were to win the proposal.
In 2013, Australia won the women's 50-over World Cup in India after defeating the West Indies in the championship match in Mumbai by 114 runs.
The bids for the four major women's ICC events for the upcoming cycle will be accepted during the ICC Annual Conference, which is taking place in Birmingham.
India is Expected to Host the 2025 Event
India will be the favourite to host the international ODI competition in 2025. "Four events for women are up to bids. The ICC T20 World Cups in 2024 and 2026, as well as the 2025 ODI World Cup, are the most notable of them "An ICC Board member who requested anonymity told.
The 2016 World T20 was the last major international women's cricket event to be hosted in India, but that was mostly because the ICC used to host both men's and women's events concurrently.
The growth of women's sports has, however, transformed the system, and the International Cricket Council (ICC) has separated the events to ensure that women's sports receive the necessary value, including a separate broadcast agreement and exclusive coverage.
However, since its inception in 1973, two years before the men's mega event began in England in 1975, the 50-over Women's World Cup has existed as a stand-alone competition.
India Hosted it Three Times
The tournament was three times hosted by India: in 1978, 1997, and 2013. ICC insiders believed that the BCCI made a wise decision if they intend to bid for the 2025 ODI event.
"Since BCCI is bullish about starting the Women's IPL from next season, I think they wouldn't like to hold any other marquee T20 women's event right away. Hence the decision to bid for the 2025 World Cup seems logical," the source said.
