ICC also confirmed that South Africa will be hosting the inaugural ICC under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023.

For the men’s World Cup, automatic qualification of 12 teams was confirmed with the top-eight teams from the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia and hosts West Indies and USA taking up two spots.

Apart from this, two teams will qualify as the next highest-ranked teams as of November 14 this year.

If West Indies finish in the top-eight in Australia, then an extra team will be added to qualification based on ICC rankings.

The remaining of the 20-tea tournament will be decided through regional qualification process with two sports for Africa, Asia and Europe followed by one spot each for the Americas and EAP.

For the Women’s T20 World Cup, eight teams will get automatic berths, including the top-three teams from each group of the 2023 event plus the host (if not in the six) followed by the highest-ranked team team(s).

A lobal qualifier will determine the other two spots.

For the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2025, the five highest-ranked teams at the end of the 2022-25 ICC Women’s Championship (IWC) will qualify, including the host country, which is yet to be confirmed.

The remaining two teams will be from the four bottom-placed teams in the IWC followed by two from the one day international rankings.
