The 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup will be staged in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in October and November 2027. South Africa will host 44 matches across eight cities, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, while Zimbabwe and Namibia will co-host the remaining 10 matches.

Confirmed Venues & Locations:

Namibia: Namibia Cricket Ground and United Ground (Windhoek).

The tournament will feature 14 teams, divided into two groups of seven, followed by a Super Six stage, semi-finals, and a final.

One & Half year remains>> long time later >> i doubt Hitman's desire to play & lead indian team possible.

May be Shreyas

or Gill will lead india

Zimbabwe now Have Full Membership in ICC but they still not Qualify for WTC.

Both Zimbabwe (host)& SAfrica(host) already Qualified for 2027 world cup same as india, Aus, eng, Sri Lanka, pakistan, Bangladesh , Westindies.and Newzealand, Ireland and Afghanistan

Namibia will be host of 2027 WC but they are not yet Qualify for WC 2027, they still need to play Qualifiers

For example : if Afghanistan, Ireland & others ranking not Up to date on March 31st 2027 they have to go through Qualifiers.

Right now 12 teams okayed to go but from Qualifiers >2 top 2 teams will make it in WC

Only i am upset that, Namibia despite Partial Host not yet Qualifys for the main pool, but they have to have go through Qualifiers while Zimbabwe already in, they not need to go Qualifiers, which i think not fare by ICC.

I wish Namibia win & win again & again by March 31st 2027 to improves their Ranking.
