20 teams have qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. These 20 teams are divided into four groups of five teams each. The top two teams will play in the Super 8 stage. Again two groups will be made of those 8 teams. The top two from each group will then qualify for the Semifinals. The finals of the tournament will be played on 29TH of June.

Selection of the Hosts

In November 2021, the International Cricket Council announced that the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 was going to be held in the USA and West Indies. A joint bid was submitted by both the boards. As a result, a collaborative partnership was made between both associations. The ICC hopes that by hosting a Mega Event, the USA will also become renowned in the cricketing world.

Qualification Scenario of 20 Teams

The top eight teams from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 and the two hosts qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining two automatic qualification places were taken by the best-ranked teams in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings which had not already secured a place in the finals, as of 14 November 2022.

The eight remaining places were filled via the ICC’s regional qualifiers, consisting of two teams from Africa, Asia, and Europe, along with one team each from the Americas and the East Asia-Pacific groups. In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa.

In July 2023, Ireland and Scotland from the Europe Qualifier became the first two teams to qualify, followed by Papua New Guinea from the East Asia-Pacific Qualifier. Canada secured their qualification in October 2023 after defeating Bermuda in their final match in the Americas Qualifier. The following month, Nepal and Oman qualified after reaching the final of the Asia Qualifier, followed by Namibia and Uganda becoming the final two teams to qualify after ensuring a top-two finish in the Africa Qualifier. Zimbabwe became the only Test-playing country that failed to qualify.
