The Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off is a One-Day International (ODI) cricket tournament that forms part of the qualification process for the Cricket World Cup.[1] The tournament was introduced in 2018, when a new qualification pathway was announced prior to the 2023 Cricket World Cup. The first edition was held in 2023.[2]
A number of teams as specified for each qualification pathway qualify for the Qualifier Play-off from the League 2 and Challenge League, this provides an opportunity for even associate teams without ODI status to play full One-Day International matches.[3] For the 2023 tournament, the bottom four teams from League 2 and two teams from Challenge League qualified for the tournament.[4] While for the 2027 edition, four teams from League 2 and Challenge League respectively qualify.[5]
