The 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifier will be a cricket tournament to decide the final qualification for the 2019 World Cup. The top two teams will qualify for the World Cup, joining the 8 teams who will have already qualified through their ranking in the ICC ODI Championship.

Teams

As it was decided to reduce teams in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, a new world cup qualification structure was introduced where at least 2 Test playing nations will need to play in the qualifying tournament and therefor a Test-playing nation could miss the World Cup for the first time. Ireland and Afghanistan are included in ICC ODI Championship from which the top 8 teams on 30 September 2017 will automatically qualify for the World Cup.[1] The bottom 4 teams in the ICC ODI Championship ranking will be joined by the top 4 teams from the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship and the two finalists of the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two for the qualifying tournament. This means that at most 2 associate teams can qualify for the World Cup or none if beaten by the Test playing nations.
