The race for the two remaining spots at the World Cup intensifies as 10 teams participate in the qualifying tournament in Zimbabwe from June 18 to July 9. Among the former champions competing are Sri Lanka and the West Indies, who have played at every World Cup since 1975. The Windies had to fight their way through the qualifier for the 2019 tournament and Sri Lanka only managed seven wins out of 24 matches in the World Cup Super League. After Nepal nearly reached last year’s T20 showpiece, they are eager to make their World Cup debut and claimed a win over Oman in a warm-up game. The US, who will co-host the 2024 T20 World Cup with the West Indies, will depend on Steven Taylor and Sai Mukkamalla’s runs and the wicket-taking ability of Ali Khan, who received a two-match suspension for a code of conduct violation. Harry Tector is expected to present Ireland with a strong middle order as they aim to return to the tournament, while Scotland will aim to lay their past demons to rest. Asif Khan will lead the UAE’s run-scoring efforts after making his international debut last year. DRS will be introduced at the Super Six stage, which will provide an added challenge to all the participants.
