Qualification

South Africa and Zimbabwe as co-hosts along with the top eight teams in the ICC ODI rankings as of 31 March 2027 [4] will qualify directly for the competition, while the remaining four spots will be decided through global qualifier tournaments. [4] Although Namibia will co-host the competition for the first time, they will not be guaranteed a spot because they are not a full ICC member, and as a result they will have to go through the standard qualification pathway.
