West Indies failed to qualify for the World Cup 2023 after losing to Zimbabwe, Netherlands and Scotland in succession.

For the first time in the history of their cricket, the Caribbean team would not be a part of a World Cup

Missing WI in this WC

They have mentioned the rules in the below article.

I also just read it...

They divided the teams into various leagues and also considered prev ratings.

Didn't want to give half information so pasted the article...

Netherlands, SL and WI were the bottom of the Super league and had to play the qualifiers with other teams. And WI lost their matches.

I think Pakistan should perform better in the upcoming matches. I don't know why they are going into shell. They have to play attacking cricket.

I know economics is probably involved in these decisions, but if the game is dying shouldn't the overall Cricket fraternity be encouraging more teams/ countries who play the game? And one way of doing so would be having Top tier teams play against them so they can get better. I guess it's not a profit making scenario but still .. they could have had a 3-nation tournament or something with two A-list teams and one kaccha nimbu team so it could have been a win-win all around.

Idk much about how the organization etc work, but it just seems to make sense to me this way.

Cricket Experts on here would probably know better.

ETA: OK, I realize they're talking about the demise of 50-over Cricket and not the other popular form - Twenty20

Still it’s good if more nations are Included. Isliye to they had an American t20 league started. More the merrier :).

Btw, I guess I'm late to the party but I'm only just finding out that West Indies isn't playing cos they didn't qualify? How in the heck did that happen? They used to be one of the most exciting teams to watch!

I'm probably behind the times where Cricket is concerned but I thought these top tier teams were an automatic shoo-in for events like the WC and only the bottom rung ones had to battle it out to qualify.

Dang, I'm bummed they aren't in the WC!

yes. They had to play qualifiers to qualify and even could not make it despite that.


days of Malcolm Marshall. Lara. Jason Gardner. Viv richards and now not even in WC.

On the other hand Netherlands in Wc and they played a decent game today all things considering….

O well. Good start to WC so far. Word is matches in southern India might be interrupted or missed due to rains. Let’s see how it impacts tables and rankings. 🍻🍻
