The automatic qualifiers for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 have been identified after the end of the eighth edition of the tournament that saw Australia win their sixth title at Newlands in Cape Town on Sunday, with Sri Lanka and Ireland failing to get direct qualification for the tournament.

Eight teams earn a direct qualification while the remaining two spots are to be identified through a global qualifier, as per the International Cricket Council (ICC). As per the qualification process, the top three teams from each group earn direct qualification along with the hosts and the highest-ranked team outside of the six direct qualifiers from the 10-team tournament.

Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are the teams to earn direct qualification as the top three teams of Group 1 in the league stage while England, India and the West Indies similarly make it from Group 2.

Bangladesh qualify as hosts of the ninth edition of the tournament while Pakistan makes it by virtue of being the next highest-ranked team in the ICC Women’s T20I Team Rankings as of February 27, 2023.

The remaining two spots will be identified through a global qualifier to be held in early 2024. The dates and venues of this tournament will be announced in due course.

Of the teams who played in this year’s tournament, Sri Lanka and Ireland are the teams failing to get direct qualification. Sri Lanka is currently ranked eighth in the rankings while Ireland is 10th.

Sri lankan won first 2 matches and that got high into their heads as if they had won the cup. At that time I predicted the ultimate result which has happened. More than the capability, the attitude issues are costing them.

Set up an authority to promote women's cricket independent of Sri Lanka cricket board. I have no faith in the present board to handle women's cricket.

I watched all the World cup T20 matches played by Sri Lanka and want to make the following comments. Our bowling unit was below par did not frighten any of the opposition except S Africa where Ranaweera performed well.We should have had two good seamers. Our batters except for Chamari had no power in their shots.Tjey should put in some gym work to strengthen their upper bodies. Two positives appear to be Samarawickrema and Gunaratne whi will be the future of our batting
