The 2023–2027 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 [1]is the second edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, a cricket tournament which forms part of the 2027 Cricket World Cup qualification process. As a result of the scrapping of Super League this cycle of League 2 saw an increase in the size of the competition to 8 teams. The schedule is yet to be announced.
Teams and Qualification
The previous World Cup qualification cycle allowed for promotion of the League 2 champion to the Super League. However, the scrapping of that tournament meant that the previous League 2 champion, Scotland, remained in this competition with Netherlands relegated from the Super League.[2]
They were joined by the 4 remaining top 5 finishers from the previous League 2 and two teams from the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off.
That tournament resulted in Canada being promoted, with Papua New Guinea relegated to the Challenge League. [3]
