Sri Lanka lost the hosting rights for the inaugural 2027 ICC Women's Champions Trophy after the International Cricket Council (ICC) took action over violations of its independence rules. The issue involved alleged government interference in the administration of Sri Lanka Cricket through a government-appointed Transformation Committee. The tournament is scheduled to be held from February 14 to 28, 2027. Sri Lanka's removal as host also affects its automatic qualification and tournament preparations. The ICC will select a replacement host based on factors such as weather conditions, venue availability and broadcasting facilities.
