The ICC Cricket World Cup Super League is an international cricket competition that serves as the primary qualification pathway for the ICC Cricket World Cup. This league features 13 teams, including the 12 Full Member nations of the International Cricket Council （ICC） and the Netherlands, who qualified by winning the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.
In the context of Indian cricket, this league holds significant importance as it provides the Indian cricket team with regular competitive ODI matches against top-tier opponents. The league follows a points-based system where teams earn points for each match won, with the top seven teams plus hosts India automatically qualifying for the Cricket World Cup.
The introduction of the Super League has brought more structure and context to bilateral ODI series, ensuring that every match counts toward World Cup qualification. For Indian cricket fans, this means more meaningful international cricket throughout the year, with clear stakes and competitive intensity in every ODI series India participates in. |
