The ICC says the competition will provide context to one-day international (ODI) cricket.

A total of 13 teams will feature in the Super League, including the 12 full ICC members Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

The Netherlands will also feature, having qualified by winning the 2015-2017 ICC World Cricket Super League.

The Super League will see each side play four home and away three-match series.

The competition will begin with World Cup holders England facing Ireland in a series starting on Thursday (July 30).

"We are delighted to get the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League underway with world cup winners England against Ireland," said Geoff Allardice, ICC general manager of cricket operations.

"The league will bring relevance and context to ODI cricket over the next three years, as qualification for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is at stake.

"The Super League gives cricket fans around the world even more reasons to watch as the drama of league cricket unfolds.

"The decision last week to move the World Cup back to late 2023 gives us more time to schedule any games lost due to COVID-19 and preserve the integrity of the qualification process, meaning it will be decided on the field of play, which is important."

The top seven teams will qualify directly to the World Cup, excluding already-qualified hosts India.

The remaining teams will compete in the World Cup qualifier, which will determine the final two participants in the 10-team tournament.

England captain Eoin Morgan welcomed the return of ODI cricket following the coronavirus shutdown.

"We’re looking forward to playing cricket again and to the ICC Men’s World Cup Super League," Morgan said.

"Given the situation, it will be quite different to the last time we played at home, when we lifted the World Cup at Lord’s, but it’s nice to be starting our journey for the next edition of the tournament.

"I’m sure cricket fans all over the world will be excited to see white-ball cricket resume and we’re looking forward to the challenge.

"Ireland are a talented team who have shown over the years that they can beat the best on their day.

"We look forward to what promises to be an interesting series."

The World Cup was originally scheduled to take place from February 9 to March 26 in 2023.

Dates of the event have been moved to October and November due to the coronavirus pandemic.
