No West Indies. Sickening.

No West Indies. Sickening.

How are they not playing?

[Rogg]

No West Indies. Sickening.

How are they not playing?

It looks complicated but basically only the top 8 countries automatically qualify. The West Indies (and Sri Lanka) were not amongst them so had to play in the qualifiers.

Sri Lanka and Netherlands won the qualifiers.

They won the 1st 2 if memory serves
Unplayable in any format for a decade or more

They lost 4 of their 5 games in the final qualifying group to Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Scotland and Zimbabwe.

It was a different lifetime. The world went to shit after we won that, that's what happens when England win something
