ICC T20 World Cup 2024 qualification
Netherlands won’t have to go through to the qualification process ahead of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 for they have already qualified for the main round of the ninth edition of T20 World Cup to be played in West Indies and USA. Show For the unversed, teams which finish in the Top Four of their respective Super 12 groups secure an automatic qualification for the subsequent World Cup. The Dutch side might have well found it a tad challenging to enter the main draw of the next T20 World Cup, as the European regional qualification process would have allowed only two teams from the region to gain the ultimate entry into the 20 overall participating teams. In what put an end to their best-ever T20 World Cup performance, Netherlands finished on the fourth position among Group 2 teams after winning two and losing three out of their five Super 12 matches. The Dutch defeating South Africa by 13 runs in Adelaide earlier today not only brought to light their potential in this format but also knocked out the Proteas from the tournament. In the eight matches that Netherlands played in this World Cup, batter Max O’Dowd emerged as their highest run-scorer on the back of amassing 242 runs at an average of 34.57 and a strike rate of 112.55 including a couple of half-centuries. All-rounder Bas de Leede took the bowling honours for picking 13 wickets at an average of 13, an economy rate of 7.68 and a strike rate of 10.1. Adam Gilchrist proud of Ryan Campbell as Netherlands ensure direct qualification for ICC T20 World Cup 2024Former Australia wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist was all praises for his former Western Australian teammate Ryan Campbell after Netherlands thumped South Africa at the Adelaide Oval on a Sunday morning.
A primary reason why Gilchrist highlighted Campbell’s “commitment” to the sport in his tweet is because of the latter rejoining Netherlands as their coaching consultant months after suffering a life-threatening cardiac arrest earlier this year. It was in April 2022 that Campbell had been admitted in a hospital for 21 days after a cardiac arrest forced him into an induced comma for a week. In spite of the doctors giving him only 7% chances of survival, the fighter in Campbell defied odds to register a substantial recovery. A wicket-keeper batter himself, Campbell, 50, had represented Australia in a couple of ODIs and Netherlands in three T20Is back in the day. However, both his matches for Australia a couple of decades ago had come as a replacement for Gilchrist. The road to the biggest ever ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024 commences in June with the first qualifying events taking place in Europe.
The road to the biggest ever ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024 commences in June with the first qualifying events taking place in Europe. These events mark the first step in the qualification process, eventually culminating in a record 20 teams competing at the landmark event in the USA and West Indies in 2024. Over the next two years, teams from across the globe will battle it out in 15 pathway events, all with an eye on sealing a place on the world stage. 68 nations start their journey at Sub Regional Qualifiers, with 28 teams entering at a later stage once the outcomes of this year’s event in Australia are confirmed and the automatic qualifiers for 2024 are known. The teams seeking to progress from the first step will be spread across 10 Sub Regional Qualifiers; 16 teams from Africa (two events), eight teams from the Americas (one event), nine teams from Asia (two events), seven teams from EAP (two events) in addition to the 28 teams competing from Europe across their three events. Speaking on the commencement of the qualification pathway, ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley said “We are delighted to see a record number of teams competing for places at ICC events as the Men’s T20 World Cup pathway begins in Europe. The T20 format continues to drive the growth of the game and over the next two years we will see new teams competing in ICC events for the very first time. “A very warm welcome to Hungary, Romania and Serbia who are making their debut and thanks to Cricket Belgium and Cricket Finland for playing host to a record number of teams at this stage in qualification. I would like to wish all the competing teams every success as they begin their journey towards the USA and West Indies in 2024.” Europe will be the first stop on the qualification calendar, as three Sub Regional Qualifiers unfold in the space of five weeks in Belgium and Finland. More teams are vying for qualification in the region than ever before, as 28 teams all begin their journey aiming to progress to the Europe Final in 2023 which is the last step of the qualification stage where the region’s participating nations at the marquee men’s event in 2024 will be determined. Belgium will be the stage for the first event, where 20 matches will be played at the Ghent Oval and Royal Brussels Cricket Club between 28 June and 4 July in the Sub Regional Europe C Qualifier supported by Dream 11. The host nation will feature alongside Denmark, Hungary and Gibraltar in Group 1, while Spain, Portugal, Malta and Israel compete in Group 2. Semi-finals and finals will subsequently be held, with the victor sealing a place in the Europe Regional Final. Qualification then moves on to Finland where grounds in Tikkurila and Kerava will host ICC tournament cricket for the very first time with back-to-back Sub Regional Qualifiers, as 20 teams arrive to battle it out for qualification. The first of the two events, Sub Regional Europe A Qualifier will take place between 12-19 July and be made up of two groups; Group 1 consisting of hosts Finland, Italy, Sweden, Greece and Croatia, whereas Group 2 will feature Romania, Isle of Man, Cyprus, Turkey and Serbia. The two groups of teams competing in the final Sub Regional Europe B Qualifier between 24-31 July will be Group 1 containing Guernsey, Austria, Luxembourg, Bulgaria and Slovenia, with Group 2 featuring Norway, France, Czech Republic, Estonia and Switzerland. In both events, the two group winners will progress to the Final where the winning nation will earn a spot in the Europe Final in 2023. These events and more will be streamed via fancode.com in the Indian subcontinent, and on ICC.tv across the rest of the world, bringing the action closer than ever to cricket fans around the globe, and allowing them to enjoy every ball of a hugely competitive qualification process. Once these events have drawn to a close, the focus will then move to other ICC regions towards the latter stages of 2022, where Vanuatu and Japan will prepare to host their Sub Regional qualifying events for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Qualification Structure 20 teams will be competing at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, with 12 teams qualifying automatically, and eight teams determined through regional qualification pathways. The 12 automatic qualifiers will be identified from the eight top performing teams (top four teams in each Super 12 group) at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia alongside hosts USA and West Indies, with the remaining teams qualifying based on the next highest ranked teams in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings as of 14 November 2022. Eight qualification spots are available through regional qualifier events – two teams from each of Africa, Asia and Europe will qualify for the event, while the Americas and EAP regions will each have one team progress to the World Cup through their Regional Qualifier. The teams competing in these Regional Finals will be formed based on the outcomes of Sub Regional Qualifiers.
