The host nation, India, has already qualified for the competition. Through the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Afghanistan, Australia, England, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa have also attained direct qualification. The World Cup qualifiers now taking place in Zimbabwe will choose two additional teams that will join the aforementioned teams there.
The round-robin format of the tournament's 10 competing teams is anticipated to be followed by the semifinals and the championship game. Even though the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is set to host the final, at least one semifinal could happen there instead. The number of locations that will be chosen to host World Cup games should be made clearer during the ICC event in Mumbai.
