He was Speaking on his programme, ‘Issues in the News,’ on Tuesday evening,
According to Nandlall, the framework will mirror that of one created for the 2007 50-Over World Cup that Guyana also hosted, but noted that the difference on this occasion is the involvement of the United States of America.
West Indies and the United States of America will co-host the event from June 1-29.
“Work has begun in the Caribbean region to create a common domestic space while the competition going on”, the Attorney General stated Tuesday evening on his programme, ‘Issues in the News’.
“This will require legislation to allow for VISA and other hassle-free travel across the region, and other special facilities will have to be incorporated in a suite of legislation that each member state will be required to enact for the purpose of the T20 World”, Nandlall explained.
Earlier this month, organisers of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 held high-level meetings with various stakeholders as the preparations for the global sporting event intensified.
The summit’s main objective was to bring the main security, safety, medical, and health stakeholders together, focusing on sharing information, insight, experiences, best practices, and resources. Guyana will host group matches from June 2 – 8 and semi-final one on June 26 at the National Stadium, Providence.
