ICC 2024

After a determined win over South Africa, and with some assistance from Pakistan and India, the Netherlands finished at the fourth position in their Super 12 group of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. With this, the Dutch side has earned a direct place at the 2024 T20 World Cup, set to be hosted by the West Indies and the USA.

To reach the top four of Group 2, the Netherlands needed everything to go their way on the final day of second stage. First, a win over the tournament’s favourites South Africa was imperative. Next required Pakistan to beat Bangladesh, and lastly, India to defeat Zimbabwe so that the African nation does not acquire the 4th position in the points table.

And the Dutch got the perfect day. They themselves defeated South Africa by 13 runs. Pakistan edged past Bangladesh by five wickets and booked a place in the semifinals, while India thrashed Zimbabwe by seven runs and topped Group 1.

The Netherlands are now one of twelve teams to have directly qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup and the second associate after hosts USA. Meanwhile, full members – Zimbabwe and Ireland – will return to play in the qualifiers.

Here’s the full list of teams which have earned direct qualification for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup:

  • Hosts – West Indies and USA
  • Top 8
    Group 1: New Zealand, England, Australia and Sri Lanka
    Group 2: India, Pakistan, South Africa and the Netherlands
  • Next two highest-ranked teams from the rest – Bangladesh and Afghanistan

It has to be remembered that the next T20 World Cup will be a 20-team affair. So, the rest of the eight spots will be filled by regional qualifiers in Africa, Asia and Europe, while the Americas and EAP regions will have one team each make it to the ICC event.

  • USA Men’s National Team will qualify automatically as co-hosts of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 alongside West Indies
  • The decision from the ICC will see USA guaranteed to appear in what could be a first ever World Cup appearance, although both the USA Senior Men’s & Women’s sides have the chance to qualify for the respective next ICC T20 World Cups in 2022 and 2023
  • USA Women’s National Team also discover their qualification pathway for ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, whilst the inaugural 16 Team ICC U19 Women’s World Cup was confirmed for early 2023 in South Africa

USA Cricket welcomes the ICC Board decision today to award automatic qualification to the co-hosts of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, with both the USA and West Indies guaranteed places in the expanded Men’s T20 World Cup that will see 20 teams participating in it for the first time.

12 teams are to qualify automatically for the event. The top eight teams from the 2022 event will be joined by the two host Members, West Indies and USA,  plus a number of the next highest ranked teams on the MRF ICC Men’s T20I Rankings table as of 14 November 2022, with the remaining places then going through Regional Qualifying.
