2023 Men's T20 World Cup Americas sub-regional qualifier
The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was the ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, a biennial world cup for cricket in Twenty20 International (T20I) format, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).[1][2] The qualification process for the world cup included two stages: direct qualification and regional qualification. The regional qualification for Americas was held in two stages: sub-regional qualifier and regional final.[3][4][5]
The Americas region's sub-regional qualifier was hosted by Argentine Cricket Association from 25 February to 4 March 2023.[6] Belize, Brazil and Suriname withdrew from the qualifier in February 2023.[7][3] Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Panama advanced to the regional final after finishing atop the points table.[8] Bermuda's Kamau Leverock was named player of the series having scored the most runs (202) while Argentina's Hernán Fennell took the most wickets (9) in the tournament.
