Remember, participating teams were confirmed in April. England qualified as the host nation with six qualifiers Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and a country from the West Indies secured qualification as a result of their standings in the ICC T20I Rankings on April 1.
The last participating team will be decided through a Qualifying tournament to be held by 31 January 2022, details of which will be announced in due course.
The Commonwealth Games cricket tournament will take place at the iconic Edgbaston Stadium, with tickets set to go on sale later this year.
It must be noted that it is for the very second time that cricket will be featured in Commonwealth Games. The first occasion being a men’s ODI competition in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, which was won by South Africa.
