Canadian U19s are in St. Kitts. Not sure whether they have arranged any friendly matches to prepare but at least they can practise outdoors again.

Interesting. I wonder whether the ICC is providing funding to other Associates in preparation for U19 WC. It seems Uganda U19s are arriving in West Indies on January 3rd but no mention is made of any preparations other than the scheduled warm-up matches. The same appears to be the case for Scotland ...

^^Thanks for the squad, Victorian. I will post the list explicitly: Mihir Patel - Right Hand Batsman /Right Arm Medium Pacer (Captain) Anoop Chima -Wicket Keeper /Right Hand Batsman Arjuna Sukhu - Left Hand Batsman Ethan Gibson - Left Hand Batsman Gavin Niblock - Left Arm Medium Pacer Gurnek Johal S...

I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere but Wickets says Canada will play in Group A of the 2023 T20 Global Qualifier in Oman, February 2022. Two teams advance. COVID permitting, of course.

New Zealand U19s are withdrawing. They are replaced by Scotland.

Group D, which had been the only one without an Associate now has one.

The 50 over World Cup will also expand, returning to 14 teams for 2027. Rankings will be used to determine the 10 teams automatically qualifying. The last 4 will be determined from a qualifier. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/new-qualification-pathway-for-14-team-2027-mens-odi-world-cup-approved-...

Actually, it seems from 2024 onwards will have 20 teams so West Indies would likely be safe to qualify, but it would not be a surprise to see the ICC grant the hosts byes to the World Cup. Will they dispense with the "first round" in 2024 and go with 4 groups of 5 teams? Possible. Even with 20 teams...

West Indies are not necessarily a lock for qualification, e...

^ Have to wonder how much of this team will play in the global qualifier. Will Kumar and/or Dutta return? Were there players overseas (Abraash Khan?) that were not included for Antigua because of quarantine restrictions? Don't think Hiral Patel did enough to be included going forward. He wasn't even...
