The 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier is the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier, which is taking place in June and July 2023 in Zimbabwe.[1] It is the culmination of the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process and will decide the final two participants for the 2023 World Cup.[2][3]
In July 2020, Zimbabwe cricket announced their intentions to host the qualifier.[4] Zimbabwe had hosted the previous qualification tournament, in March 2018.[5] In December 2020, Zimbabwe were confirmed as the hosts of the tournament.
A fire occurred at the Harare Sports Club on 20 June 2023 behind the southwest grandstand, but no damage took place, and this did not affect the scheduling.[6]
Teams and qualification
The tournament features ten teams; the bottom five teams from the 2020–23 World Cup Super League, the top three teams from the 2019–23 World Cup League 2, and the top two teams from the 2023 World Cup Qualifier Play-off.
All matches in the qualifier tournament will have One Day International (ODI) status. The ICC have confirmed that DRS will be used in the tournament, but only for matches in the Super Six stage and onwards. This will be the first time the system is used in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament.[7]
| Means of qualification[8] | Date | Venue | Berths | Qualified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super League (Bottom 5) | 30 July 2020 – 14 May 2023 | Various | 5 |  Ireland Netherlands Sri Lanka West Indies Zimbabwe
|
| League 2 (Top 3) | 14 August 2019 – 16 March 2023 | Various | 3 |  Nepal Oman Scotland
|
| Qualifier Play-off (Top 2) | 26 March – 5 April 2023 |  Namibia
|
2 |  United Arab Emirates United States
|
| Total | 10 | |||
Implications for future competition
The top two sides from this qualifier will be awarded a spot in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[9][10] Originally, it was intended that the top ranked team in the CWC League 2 (Scotland) could be promoted to the next Super League at the expense of the 13th ranked Super League team (Netherlands); but only if the League 2 winner finished as the higher of the two in this tournament. The team ranked lower would then have played in the next edition of League 2.[10][11] However, in November 2021, the ICC announced that there would not be a second edition of the Super League.[12]
