ST. JOHN’S - Antigua - Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed that the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica has advised that they are no longer able to host matches in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which takes place in June 2024. Dominica had been initially selected as a host venue for the highly anticipated tournament, along with six other countries in the West Indies; Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago.

The Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports, and Community Development in Dominica confirmed that, despite the country's eagerness to host matches and tangible efforts to date, they have evaluated proposed timelines after consultation with their contractors. After careful consideration, it was determined that there will not be adequate time to fulfil all the obligations outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding between CWI and the Government of Dominica. 

Some venue in the US will get Dominica’s spot

I would be fooling myself to believe the government story of time. In my opinion everything went downhill shortly after the international journalists exposed the CBI story of Dominica, especially the amount of money they claimed that has not been accounted for and their refusal to answer questions. At this time I just feel Skerrit doesn’t want to open a door for international journalists and other unknown agencies to appear on him
