ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025 schedule revealed
The top two finishers in the event will seal their places for the upcoming Women's Cricket World Cup in India, scheduled to be played in October and November this year.
The sixth edition of the qualifier features six sides, including four full members - Pakistan, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Ireland.
The four teams were unable to secure a direct spot for the Cricket World Cup via ICC Women's Championship, having finished in between seventh and 10th place in the standings.
Scotland and Thailand are the other two sides in the tournament, who feature on the basis of being the next two best-ranked sides in the ICC Women's ODI Team Rankings on 28th October 2024.

Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka and hosts India have already qualified for the World Cup by virtue of finishing in the top six of the 10-team ICC Women's Championship (2023-25).
The action at the qualifier starts with a double-header on April 9, with hosts Pakistan taking on Ireland at Gaddafi, while West Indies match up against Scotland at LCCA.
The following day, Bangladesh and Thailand take on each other at LCCA.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardice expects a highly competitive tournament.
'The six teams are just one step away from the Women's Cricket World Cup and I am sure they would be all geared up for the competition," he said.
'On behalf of the ICC, I would like to wish all the participating teams the very best of luck and hope to see some competitive cricket in Lahore as a build-up to the World Cup in India.'
Some of the games to look forward to will be the Pakistan-West Indies clash on 14 April, the European clash between Ireland and Scotland on 18 April, and the Pakistan-Bangladesh match-up on 19 April.

Saliya Saman banned for five years under Anti-Corruption Code
Former Sri Lankan domestic cricketer Saliya Saman has been banned from all cricket for five years after an ICC Anti-Corruption Tribunal found him guilty of breaching the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Anti-Corruption Code. Saman was among eight people charged in September 2023 for breaching the Code. The charges relate to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League and attempts to corrupt matches in that tournament which were disrupted by the ICC, the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) for the purposes of the ECB's Code for the tournament. Following a full hearing and presentation of written and oral argument, the Tribunal found Saman guilty of: Article 2.1.1 – Being party to an attempt to fix, contrive or influence improperly matches or aspects of matches in the Abu Dhabi T10 2021. Article 2.1.3 – Offering a Reward to another Participant in exchange for that player engaging in Corrupt Conduct under the Code. Article 2.1.4 – Directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any Participant to breach Code Article 2.1. The ban is backdated to 13 September 2023, when Saman was provisionally suspended. The decision on merits and sanction (which has been redacted to protect the identities of the ICC's witnesses and other third parties) is available on the page here. The media release on the charges is available here. Fo more about the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, click here.

Edwards believes England remain on track for World Cup glory ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025
England have two players holding onto the No.1 spot on the ICC Women's ODI Player Rankings , with skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt (batting) and spinner Sophie Ecclestone (bowling) both currently rated as the best in the world in their specific profession and the duo likely to play a major role in the side's race to this year's World Cup title. Edwards suggested the pair were in good shape ahead of England's World Cup tilt and said the team were working extremely hard at getting rid of the tag as being a poor fielding side. "It is something we are working on, we know we have that tag now," Edwards added. "Sometimes I get frustrated because we can drop one catch and we are labelled a bad fielding team, even though we have fielded really well otherwise. "I am confident we can get to a place where people are talking really positively about our fielding."
