West Indies still have to confirm place in 2027 ODI World Cup
The West Indies team could not directly confirm its place on the basis of ICC rankings for the ODI World Cup to be held in the year 2027, due to which it will now play the qualifiers for the third consecutive time in February in an attempt to make a place in the tournament.
