Is England team out of 2027 ADI World Cup? This big step will have to be taken to qualify in the tournament
World Cup 2027 England Qualification Scenario After ODI Rankings Update, After the annual update of the ODI rankings by the ICC (International Cricket Council), England’s qualification for the 2027 ODI World Cup is now in danger. 2019 World Cup winners England have currently moved down from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan to eighth position with 84 ratings. Therefore, it has become difficult for him to qualify in World Cup 2027 (World Cup 2027).
World Cup 2027 England Qualification Scenario After ODI Rankings Update
Let me tell you that the England cricket team won only three out of 14 ODIs between May 4, 2024 to May 5, 2025, with a ratio of winning/defeat 0.272, which is better than Nepal (0.200) and Bangladesh (0.142). Therefore, his upcoming ODI Cup 2027 (World Cup 2027) has suffered a huge setback.
How many teams will take part in World Cup 2027?
A total of 14 teams will participate in the 2027 ODI World Cup 2027, with Zimbabwe and South Africa teams already qualified for the tournament, as they are co-genre. Namibia will not be able to qualify automatically despite being the co-script of this event, as it is limited to full members of ICC only.
Apart from them, the top eight teams of the ICC ADI rankings will confirm their place in the tournament, which will be decided on the cut-off date of 31 March 2027. So the England Cricket Team currently ranks eighth in the ranking, which is only one point above the West Indies (83 ratings), which is in ninth place.
England and West Indies will be special for World Cup 2027
It is noteworthy that both teams will face face to face in the three-match ODI series starting on 29 May 2025. If the West Indies succeed in surprising and defeat the three lions, they will slip to the ninth place, which will further increase their way in the World Cup. If England missed directly from qualifying through rankings, he will have to participate in the World Cup qualifier for the first time in his history.
Let us give information that in 2023, West Indies played in the World Cup qualifier, but failed to qualify for the main event for the first time in their history. Therefore, if England do not make a major change in the ODI performance under the leadership of their new captain Harry Brook, things may be wrong for him. However, its possibility is considered a little less. Because at present, the condition of the West Indies is very bad and the team’s performance is falling day by day.
