Which Teams Will Play In ODI 2023 World Cup?
So far, 7 teams have qualified for the ICC ODI 2023 World Cup: India, England, New Zealand, Australia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
8 teams will qualify directly for the World Cup 2023 through the ODI Super League route while the remaining 2 teams will be decided from the Qualifiers.
This means that only one of West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Ireland have a chance to directly qualify for the World Cup 2023 and to avoid the qualifiers, while the rest will play Associate nations in the qualifiers.
South Africa recently defeated England by 2-1 in the ODI series, but because they were docked one point from their tally in the Super League standings for maintaining a slow over-rate in the 3rd ODI, it has become more difficult for South Africa to directly qualify for the tournament.
