\nThe International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday unveiled the match schedule for the 2025 ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup Qualifier, set to take place in Pakistan from April 9 to 19. The Qualifier will be played at two iconic venues in Lahore: Gaddafi Stadium and the Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) Ground.
\nThis sixth edition of the tournament features teams from four Full Members \u2013 Bangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, and the West Indies, who will compete alongside Associate Members Scotland and Thailand in a 15-match league.
\nThe top two teams from the Qualifier will secure their spots in the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2025 later this year.
\nAustralia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and host nation India have already qualified for the World Cup, having finished in the top six of the 10-team ICC Women\u2019s Championship (2022-25).
\nBangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, and the West Indies qualified for the event by finishing seventh to tenth in the Women\u2019s Championship, while Thailand and Scotland earned their places based on their rankings in the ICC Women\u2019s ODI Team Rankings as of October 28, 2024.
