The BCCI will form the organising committee of the Women’s ODI World Cup besides taking a call on the venues for the ICC event it’s going to be hosting later this 12 months at its Apex Council emergent meeting in Kolkata on March 22. The meeting will happen ahead of the IPL opener between defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on the Eden Gardens. The BCCI last hosted a Women’s ODI World Cup back in 2013. The precise schedule of the tournament slotted in October is yet to be worked out. Based on the agenda accessed by PTI, there will probably be a “discussion on formation of LOC for Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 and discussion regarding venues for Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025”.
India have made two finals of the 50-over event but fell short at the ultimate hurdle. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team will probably be aiming to finish the long ICC trophy wait at home.
The Apex Council can even finalise the structure for the 2025-26 domestic season.
As a part of the house season, India are scheduled to host West Indies and South Africa and due to this fact, the members are likely to make a decision on the venues for the those Test series.
With a brand new set of of office-bearers in place, an approval for change in signatories to the bank accounts operated by BCCI can even be taken.
Following government’s directive, BCCI set to ban tobacco sponsorship

The Apex Council will take up that matter within the meeting, including sponsorships related to tobacco in addition to crypto currency.
“Discussion regarding sponsorship from tobacco and crypto brands,” read item No.9 on the agenda.
