The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to witness three new teams playing their first-ever T20 World Cup in the history of their cricketing journey. They are co-hosts USA, Canada and Uganda. It has been a thrilling journey for all three of them. 


Canada

A place where cricket has been played since the 19th century, Canada has always looked like a team that could reach the next level but has failed. They last appeared in a Cricket World Cup in 2011, but that was in the 50-over format. With the number of teams increasing to 20 and each continent getting its qualifying tournament instead of a centralised qualifier, Canada won the Americas Qualifier to make the cut for the global event.

It is amazing how after playing their first T20I in only 2021, the USA have travelled so fast that they beat Ireland and Bangladesh on their way to the T20 World Cup 2024. They are expected to put up a great showing against big guns like India and Pakistan.

Uganda


The newest kid on the block of African cricket, Uganda was the most difficult and surreal qualification to the biggest stage in the smallest and most popular format of cricket. 


The Cranes as they are called beat a Test-playing member of the ICC, Zimbabwe during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier and finished second behind Namibia to make it to their first-ever World Cup.
