The World Cup will begin on October 2 next year and will conclude on November 21, 2027.
Ten of the 14 teams that will take part in the tournament have secured their places as of the September 30 qualification cut-off. Hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe have received automatic berths, while eight teams have qualified based on the ICC ODI rankings.
Namibia are also co-hosts, but they do not have an automatic qualification because they are not a full-member nation of the ICC.
India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, England, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will join South Africa and Zimbabwe in the tournament. The remaining four spots will be decided through the Qualifiers, which are scheduled to take place early next year.
Two-time champions West Indies will also have to go through the qualification route to secure a place in next year’s World Cup.
