HEADLINE: West Indies will now have to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup along with Scotland and Namibia

Rubbing salt into the gaping wound of their poor performance at the ICC T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, the West Indies will have to play an additional qualifying round against the likes of Scotland and Namibia to make the Super 12s in next year's Men's T20 World Cup in Australia.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will have direct entry into the Super 12s.

The West Indies, champions in 2012 and 2016, lost four of their five group matches in the world cup and slipped to 10th in the ICC T20 rankings and find themselves below Sri Lanka, who are ninth as well as Bangladesh, the only team to lose to the West Indies and Afghanistan, who beat the West Indies in their final warm-up game prior to the start of the T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh has risen to eighth because of their home-series wins over Australia and New Zealand. Afghanistan is seventh in the rankings.

Many non performing, unfit , overaged and injury prone players continues to be part of the team...under the able guidance of Simmons the omnipresent coach cum selector, Rody the Technical bowling coach and Monty the IPL renowned batting coach.....2021 World Cup was just beginning....more glorious achievement in coming days...2022 T-20 World Cup & 2023 ODI World Cup ....exit from qualifying round itself.....

If WI had planned ahead, they'd have scheduled a tri-series against Oman or someone before the event, would have had a chance at extra rankings points to avoid qualifiers in the event that they had a bad tourney

Two words, West Indies. That should be enough.

The Qualifying rounds includes WI, Scotland, Sri Lanka and Namibia and 4 other countries from a Global Qualifier of 16 teams that includes Oman, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Qatar, and others.

What a disgrace that WI may have to compete with teams such as Japan and Qatar in get into the World Cup. WI fell from Champs to Chumps.

Remember we couldn't even beat Afghanistan in the final in that qualifying tournament. If it wasn't for the rain and DWL, we wouldn't even have made the final.
