The qualifiers for the ICC World Cup 2023 began on June 18 in Zimbabwe, with two-time winners West Indies and 1996 champions Sri Lanka among the 10 participating sides. The ICC unveiled the fixtures for the crucial three-week tournament last month, with the West Indies drawn in Group A alongside tournament hosts Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Nepal and the USA. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, are scheduled to play matches against Ireland, Scotland, Oman and the UAE.
Sri Lanka had finished 10th in the Super League standings - one spot behind the West Indies - and will be looking for a top-two finish in Zimbabwe to ensure they maintain their excellent record of having participated in each edition of the World Cup.
The West Indies, too, have been to all 12 editions of the World Cup, while Zimbabwe are the next most successful side at the qualifier having participated in nine tournaments to date. Among those playing in the qualifiers, Nepal, USA, and Oman have never participated in the main tournament so far.
