Zimbabwe to host 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifiers

Zimbabwe has been confirmed as the hosts of the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifiers which are scheduled to take place from June-July 2018. This was confirmed by Minister of Sports Makhosini Hlongwane today. This comes after ICC chairman Shashank Manohar visited the country on a five-day tour.

The qualifiers were due to be held in Bangladesh but need to be moved, since Bangladesh is likely to qualify automatically, as they are currently ranked 7th in the world. Zimbabwe, the UAE, and Scotland and Ireland (joint hosts) were all vying for hosting rights. One other factor, that was in Zimbabwe’s favour is the weather, as the qualifiers are scheduled for June-July, where conditions will be dry and pleasant.
