For the 2024 men’s T20 World Cup, which will comprise 20 teams for the first time, the qualification process involves the top eight teams from the 2022 edition (to be hosted in Australia this October-November) along with the two hosts – West Indies and the USA – who will get automatic berths for the league phase. The remaining two slots via the automatic qualification route will be taken by the next highest ranked teams on the ICC T20 rankings as of November 14 this year.
In case West Indies finish in the top eight in this year’s World Cup, then the top three teams based on their ICC rankings on the cut-off date will make the cut. If West Indies fail to finish in the top eight at the T20 World Cup this year, then the top two teams in the rankings table will qualify for the 2024 edition. The eight remaining slots will be filled via the ICC’s regional qualifiers comprising the top two teams from each of Africa, Asia and Europe, along with one team each from the Americas and the East Asia Pacific groups.
