Ten teams will fight for the coveted crown at the showcase event. The results of the Zimbabwean qualification competition, which ends on July 9, will determine the final two spots. The Cricket World Cup Super League has already allowed the first eight to advance.

Each team will play the other nine in a round-robin format during the championship event, which is scheduled for October or November this year. The top four teams advance to the knockout stage, which consists of the semifinals, where the winner of the last four matches will face each other.

ICC is yet to release information about the tickets, but one thing is sure the physical sale of tickets would be limited as BCCI does not want a stampede-like situation.
