BCCI set to bid for 2025 Women's ODI World Cup hosting rights

India are likely to host the Women's ODI World Cup in 2025 as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are set to bid for the global event.

If BCCI wins the bid, the Women's ODI World Cup will return to India after more than a decade. The last time a Women's 50-over event was staged in India was in 2013, when Australia emerged champions after defeating West Indies by 114 runs in the final in Mumbai.

The ICC's Annual Conference is being held in Birmingham and it has been learnt that the bids for the four big women's ICC events for the next cycle will be accepted during the meet, PTI News Agency reported.

"Bids are being accepted



for four women's events. The prominent amongst them are 2024 and 2026 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2025 edition of the ODI World Cup," an ICC Board member told PTI.

The last women's global event in India was the 2016 T20 World Cup. The showpiece event was staged as the ICC used to organise men's and women's events simultaneously.

The system has changed with the popularity of women's game increasing and ICC segregated the events to get proper value for women's game with separate broadcast deal and exclusive coverage.

Those in the know of things in the ICC felt that it was prudent call by the BCCI if they are bidding for the 2025 ODI event.
