The 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier is a cricket tournament currently being held during October and November 2019 in the United Arab Emirates to determine which teams will qualify for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup tournament in Australia.[2][3]
Qualification groups began on 26 February 2018 in Argentina,[4] with a total of 61 Associate Member teams out of originally scheduled 62 teams competing.[n 1] Of these teams, 25 of them progressed to the regional finals in 2019,[5] with the top seven[n 2] teams progressing to the qualifier tournament.[3] They were joined by the top six teams from the 2015 qualifier that were outside the top ten places in the ICC T20I Championship by the cut-off date of 31 December 2018,[3] and the tournament host.[6] The six teams finishing highest in the qualifier series will join Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the first group stage of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup.
In February 2018, in the opening round of sub-regional qualifiers in the Americas group, both the Cayman Islands and Bermuda registered wins against Argentina.[7][8]
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full international status to Twenty20 mens' matches played between member sides from 1 January 2019 onwards. Therefore, all the matches in the Regional Finals and the Qualifier itself, will be played as full Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[9] In July 2019, the ICC suspended Zimbabwe Cricket, with the team barred from taking part in ICC events, which put their participation in the tournament in doubt.[10][11] The following month, with Zimbabwe banned from taking part in international cricket tournaments, the ICC named Nigeria as their replacement in the tournament.[12]

ICC T20I Championship
Host nation, Australia, and the nine best teams (according to the ICC T20I Championship ranking of 31 December 2018) who played in the last edition of ICC Twenty20 World Cup qualify for the final tournament directly. The remaining six entrants from the last tournament must compete in the regional qualifiers of the World Cup qualifying tournaments. Of the teams in the ICC T20I Championship ranking, initially the United Arab Emirates and Nepal could only qualify through regional competitions.[5] However, in March 2019, the ICC announced that the UAE would host the qualifier tournament.[29] Later the same month, the ICC released the match schedule for all the Regional Finals, with the UAE omitted from the fixture list for the Asia Regional Final.[24] The number of teams that could qualify from the Asia Regional Final was also reduced from two to one.[24]
The final rankings for automatic qualification as of 31 December 2018 were as follows:[15]

UAE squad
Ahead of the tournament, Mohammad Naveed was withdrawn from the UAE's squad, with Ahmed Raza named as captain in his place.[65] Qadeer Ahmed and Shaiman Anwar were also dropped from the UAE's squad, with Waheed Ahmed, Darius D'Silva and Junaid Sidique added to their squad.[66] Two days before the start of the tournament, the ICC confirmed that the three players dropped from the UAE's squad had all been suspended after they had breached cricket's anti-corruption rules.[67][68] Mohammad Naveed and Shaiman Anwar were believe to be planning to fix matches in this tournament, while Qadeer Ahmed was approached to fix a match during the UAE's tour of Zimbabwe in April 2019.[69] On 21 October 2019, Ashfaq Ahmed became the fourth UAE cricketer to be suspended by the ICC. Ahmed had played in the first two matches for the team in the tournament.[70]
On 21 October 2019, Ghulam Shabber, the UAE's wicket-keeper, did not show up for the pre-match meeting ahead of the fixture against Hong Kong.[71] It later transpired that Shabber had left the country without an explanation,[72] before being traced to Pakistan.[73]
Other changes
In September 2019, ahead of the 2019–20 Oman Pentangular Series, Hong Kong's Babar Hayat declared that he was no longer available to play for Hong Kong.[74] Brothers Tanveer Ahmed and Ehsan Nawaz also withdrew themselves for selection.[74]
Anantha Krishna was ruled out of Singapore's squad after suffering an injury in a training session. He was replaced by Aahan Gopinath Achar.[75] On 24 October 2019, the ICC announced that the bowling actions of Abiodun Abioye (Nigeria), Tom Sole (Scotland) and Selladore Vijayakumar (Singapore) were all found to be illegal.[76] They were all suspended from bowling in international cricket matches until an assessment shows that their bowling action is legal.[77]
Match officials
In October 2019, the ICC named the officials for the tournament, with G. S. Lakshmi becoming the first woman to be named as a referee at an ICC event.[78]
