Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has shared his predictions for the semi-finalists of the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will be jointly hosted by the United States and the West Indies.

In a conversation with ESPNCricinfo, Bishop, identified West Indies, England, India, and Australia as his picks to reach the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament.
