Canada became the latest team to secure a spot in next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with a seven wicket win over Bahamas, at the Maple Leaf Cricket Ground in Ontario on Sunday.
It became the 11th team to qualify for the 20-team event, alongside co-hosts India and Sri Lanka. The other qualified sides include Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, South Africa, United States, West Indies, Ireland, New Zealand and Pakistan.
Seven more teams – two from Europe Qualifier (to be played from 5–11 July 2025), two from Africa Qualifier (to be played from 19 September – 4 October 2025) and three from Asia–EAP Qualifier (to be played from 1–17 October 2025) – will join the Men’s T20 World Cup through the Regional Qualifiers.
Canada made its debut in the men’s T20 World Cup in 2024, winning one of the four group stage matches against Ireland.
