The 1994 ICC Trophy (formally the ABN AMRO ICC Trophy) was a cricket tournament that took place in Kenya between 12 February and 6 March 1994. It was the fifth ICC Trophy tournament to be staged, and acted as the Cricket World Cup qualification tournament for the 1996 Cricket World Cup. [1]
Zimbabwe, the winners of the previous three tournaments, had been granted Full membership of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1992 and so automatically qualified for the World Cup.
For the first time three spots were on offer to qualify for the World Cup, and matches were played over 50 overs a side, though white clothing and red balls were still used.
The United Arab Emirates won the tournament, defeating host nation Kenya in the final, while the Netherlands won the third place play-off. The three sides thus qualified for the World Cup for the first time.
Being group champion, USA and PNG team qualified for plate final, but due to prescheduled flight schedule Namibia and Denmark played the plate final.
Twenty teams contested the tournament. All twenty associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) at the time were eligible to compete at the tournament and participated. Ireland, Namibia, and the United Arab Emirates were making their tournament debuts.
