South Korea Makes History as Host of ICC Pathway Events in 2024

A historic first for South Korea as dates and venues for the 2024 Pathway Events are Announced. Indonesia, Samoa, and South Korea named as hosts for the 2024 East Asia Pacific (EAP) ICC Pathway Events.

Dates for ICC’s 2024 Pathway events have been announced with all nine EAP members making their presence felt by participating in at least one of the events.

Four EAP ICC Pathway Events will be held over the year, across Senior Men’s, U19 Women’s, and U19 Men’s World Cups in their respective formats.

It all starts in May 2024 in Indonesia, where Bali will play host to the second-ever ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier. Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Samoa will join the hosts in a four-team event. The inaugural event was also played in Bali in 2022 and saw Indonesia qualify for their maiden ICC event.

The action will then move to Samoa, who play host to the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup EAP Division 2 Qualifier, followed immediately by the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup EAP Sub-Regional Qualifier A in August. This provides the country an excellent opportunity to showcase its talent to the world.

Later, on the 10th Anniversary of cricket’s inclusion in the 2014 Asian Games, held in Incheon, South Korea, the Asian nation will play host to their first-ever ICC event. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup EAP Sub-Regional Qualifier B will see participation from Indonesia, Japan, Phillipines and South Korea.

ICC Regional Development Manager – EAP, Rob Gomm also called 2024 a huge year in cricket for the EAP region, providing an opportunity to all EAP members to qualify for the ICC global tournaments.
