The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched a 50-over World Cup Super League to determine qualification for the 2023 World Cup.
The tournament is set to kickstart with a series between England and Ireland, scheduled in Southampton on July 30. The rest of the schedule is yet to be announced. India automatically qualifies for the World Cup because they are hosting the tournament.
The Super League will determine the other seven teams that will qualify for the World Cup, ICC said through a press release.
The league will feature 13 teams, the 12 ICC full members and the Netherlands who qualified by winning the World Cricket Super League in 2017-17. The Super League will see each side play four home and four way three-match series.
Each team gets 10 points for a win, five for a tie/no result/ abandonment and none for a loss.
Teams will be ranked according to total points earned across the eight series. There are criteria in place to separate two or more teams on equal points.
“The start of the Super League was delayed due to COVID-19. As part of our contingency planning, we continue to work with Members to find windows where the rescheduled qualifying series can be safely and practically rescheduled,” the ICC said.
England captain Eoin Morgan said the Super League fixture against Ireland marks the start of their journey for the 2023 edition.
