After Afghanistan’s second match against Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain on Sunday, the country’s national cricket team confirmed their place in the ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India.

The Afghan cricket team is currently placed seventh on the points table in the Cricket World Cup Super League.

The top eight teams in the Men's Cricket World Cup Super League standings will automatically qualify for the 2023 World Cup in India.

The 2023 Cricket World Cup is scheduled to be hosted by India in October and November next year.

Afghanistan debuted in Men's ODI World Cups through the 2015 edition of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

The 2019 ODI World Cup in England marked their second appearance in the event, though they were unable to defeat any team.
