DUBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially announced the release of additional tickets for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, further boosting excitement among cricket fans worldwide. The much-anticipated global tournament is scheduled to begin on 7 February 2026 and will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ICC confirmed that the newly released tickets will be available at fan-friendly and highly affordable prices, ensuring wider access for supporters across different regions. The move follows an overwhelming response to the initial ticket sale that began in December last year.
