This will be the first time a major international cricket tournament is held in the United States, and fans are eager to see how the spectacle unfolds.
Defending Champions' Tough Road Ahead
Reigning champions England will head to the USA in a bid to defend their 2022 crown. However, it promises to be a challenging campaign for Jos Buttler and his team.
