ICC Revises 2027 ODI World Cup Qualification and Tournament Format
The ICC has revised the qualification process for the 2027 ODI World Cup in Africa, reducing the main tournament to 12 teams with a new Super Seven stage. The top eight teams in the ODI rankings by September 2026, along with co-hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe, will qualify directly. The World Cup Qualifier winner earns direct entry, while the second to fourth-placed teams must compete in a Super Series for remaining spots. Namibia, the third co-host, must qualify through this pathway.
