The Cricket World Cup League 2 is back, promising excitement and new heroes on the journey to 2027. The competition, featuring eight teams, will see the top four securing automatic spots for the Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
Canada has earned a spot at the League 2 table after a series of impressive performances, including topping their 2019-2022 Challenge League group and finishing above Jersey and Papua New Guinea. Led by Saad Bin Zafar, the team has been preparing diligently, with key players such as Kaleem Sana and Aaron Johnson expected to make significant contributions.
Namibia, having focused on T20 cricket and securing qualification for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, is now shifting its attention back to the longer white-ball format. Despite missing out on an automatic spot in the last League 2 cycle, the team is determined to make an impact in the upcoming competition.
Nepal, after a period of experimentation and numerous player changes, finally found their winning formula, winning 13 of the last 14 ODIs of the competition. With the appointment of Monty Desai, the team has emerged as a formidable force at the League 2 level.
As the excitement builds for the new League 2 cycle, cricket enthusiasts can look forward to witnessing intense battles and remarkable performances as teams vie for a coveted spot in the Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
