KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan has been directly qualified for the Super 12 state of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

The automatic qualifiers for the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 have been confirmed, following West Indies’ loss to Australia in their final match of this year’s edition.

Those eight teams are hosts Australia, England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

The automatic qualifiers for the Super 12 stage were determined to be the winner and runner-up of the current T20 World Cup, alongside the next six highest ranking teams on the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I rankings at the cut-off date of 15 November.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia will be played on October 16.
