Roadmap for 2028 T20 World Cup qualifying unveiled

The ICC also set out a qualification pathway for the 2028 T20 World Cup cycle. Scotland receives a direct entry to the Europe Regional Final after an unusual circumstance in the 2026 edition. Teams that miss direct qualification will enter a global qualifier together with eight regional qualifiers – two each from Africa, Asia and Europe, and one each from the Americas and East Asia‑Pacific. The top‑ranked team from each region and the three overall best performers will secure spots at the 2028 tournament.
