Therefore, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the West Indies will now progress to the event in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>Play in two of the three matches scheduled for Saturday \u2013 Zimbabwe v Pakistan and USA v Thailand \u2013 started as scheduled but the third fixture of the day, between the West Indies and Sri Lanka, could not be staged as a member of the Sri Lanka team support staff tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley in an official release said:<\/p>\n<p>We are incredibly disappointed to have to cancel the remainder of this event but with travel restrictions from a number of African countries being imposed at such short notice there was a serious risk that teams would be unable to return home.<\/p>\n<p>We have explored a number of options to allow us to complete the event but it isn\u2019t feasible and we will fly the teams out of Zimbabwe as soon as possible. Bangladesh, Pakistan and the West Indies will now qualify for the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2022 by virtue of their rankings, whilst Sri Lanka and Ireland will also join them in the next cycle of the ICC Women\u2019s Championship.<\/p>\n<p>The teams who have qualified for the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2022 to be held in New Zealand from 4 March to 3 April are Australia, England, India, South Africa, New Zealand (hosts), Pakistan, West Indies and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>More: ANI<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
