Ten countries will participate in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023, which will be held in Zimbabwe from June 18 through July 9.

Teams will be playing for the final two remaining spots in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in India in 2023, which will guarantee them nine matches at the game's ODI grand final. 

The 10 teams competing in the qualifying are divided into two groups, each consisting of five teams. Group A is comprised of the host nation Zimbabwe, the West Indies, the Netherlands, Nepal, and the United States. Group B is made up of Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

Each side will play the other teams in their group once with the top three from each group progressing to the Super Six stage. They will compete against the teams they did not face in the group stage in the Super Six.

The points won in the group stage will be carried over to the Super Six stage apart from those gained against the teams that fail to make it to the Super Six stage. The finalists will both progress to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
