NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council announced on Monday that teams would participate in a new one-day international Super League to determine qualification for the 50-over World Cup in 2023.

Thursday’s one-day international between world champions England and Ireland in Southampton will be the inaugural match of the 13-nation league, with World Cup hosts India and the next seven highest-placed teams automatically qualifying for the 2023 edition.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc with the cricket calendar with the 50-over and T20 World Cups pushed back. The start of the Super League was also delayed due to COVID-19.
