ZIMBABWE’S hopes of progressing to the final qualifier for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women’s T20 World Cup received a boost after being awarded the rights to host the regional qualifiers to be held in May.
The regional qualifier which is named the ICC Women Twenty20 World Cup Africa Qualifier is a pathway to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier and ultimately the ICC Women T20 World Cup.
Winners of the Africa qualifier will proceed to take part in the global qualification tournament where they stand an opportunity to make it to next year’s ICC Women T20 World Cup to be held in Australia.
Although Zimbabwe Cricket is yet to officially report being awarded the hosting rights NewZimbabwe.com can confirm that the ICC recently confirmed Zimbabwe as the hosts of the qualifiers.
