The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 qualifiers kicked off on June 18 in Zimbabwe, with two-time champions West Indies and Sri Lanka among the ten participating nations. West Indies are, meanwhile, drawn in Group A alongside tournament hosts Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Nepal and the USA, while Sri Lanka are scheduled to play matches against Ireland, Scotland, Oman and the UAE.

The Islanders had finished tenth in the Super League standings, one spot behind the West Indies, and will be looking for a top-two finish in Zimbabwe to ensure they maintain their exceptional record of having participated in each edition of the World Cup tournament. The West Indies, too, have been to all 12 editions of the World Cup, while Zimbabwe remain the next most successful side at the qualifier having participated in nine editions so far. Among those featuring in the qualifiers, Nepal, USA, and Oman have never participated in the main tournament so far.
