After World Cup 2023, West Indies Set To Miss Champions Trophy 2025 As ICC Confirms Qualification Criteria

The English team have lost four games out of five they have played so far and are struggling at the bottom of the points table with just 2 points.

According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), the top seven teams from the World Cup 2023 group table alongside the host nation will make it to the  Champions Trophy 2025. It clearly states that the likes of Bangladesh and England who are standing on the edge of elimination may not qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025 as they are standing at the ninth and tenth spot in the points table.

The English team have lost four games out of five they have played so far and are struggling at the bottom of the points table with just 2 points. Bangladesh on the other hand started their World Cup 2023 campaign on high as they defeated Afghanistan by six wickets on October 7 in Dharamsala. Ever since then, things have become really difficult for them as they lost back-to-back five games are reeling and may miss out on the qualification.

Teams like West Indies and Zimbabwe will also be missing out on the chance to qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025 as they failed to make it into the ODI World Cup 2023 main event.

“Qualification for the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 is the host (Pakistan) plus the top seven teams in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 table at the conclusion of the event. This was approved by the ICC Board in November 2021”, an ICC spokesperson was quoted as saying to ESPNcricinfo.

Earlier, back in November 2021, the ICC said that a total of eight teams will take part in the Champions Trophy and the tournament will follow the structure of previous editions with two groups of four teams each, semi-finals and final.

Afghanistan on the other hand has a good chance to play at the mega event for the first time in history after their heroics in the ongoing World Cup. They have outplayed teams like England and Pakistan so far and are looking good in the ongoing tournament. The Afghans are currently standing at the seventh spot with four points from five games.
