Participated in the qualifier but failed to qualify

Like the previous World Cup, the tournament will feature

10 teams. The main route for qualification was, however,
through the new ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, a
series of matches played between 2020 and 2023 rather
than the ODI rankings.[14] The top eight of the 13 sides in
the Super League qualified for the World Cup
automatically, although as hosts India, who finished
fourth, were guaranteed a place. In June and July 2023,
the bottom five teams from the Super League and the top
five ranked associate sides competed in the 2023 Cricket
World Cup Qualifier for the remaining two places.[15][16]

As a result of the qualifying process, the competition is

the first not to include former winners West Indies, who
failed to progress from the qualifying process after their
defeat to Scotland. Full members Ireland and Zimbabwe
also missed out on qualification, meaning three of the
four full members who took part in the knock-out
