Namibia could co-host 2027 Cricket World Cup without qualifying
Original: Has any country hosted a Cricket World Cup without qualifying? How Namibia can co-host 2027 ODI WC and still fail to qualify
Namibia is set to be a co-host of the 2027 ODI Cricket World Cup, yet the tournament format means hosts are not guaranteed a place in the competition itself. Commentators are examining whether a host nation has ever previously taken part in staging the tournament without qualifying for it, as Namibia still must earn its spot through the qualification process despite its hosting duties.
Why now: The unusual scenario of a co-host potentially missing its own World Cup is drawing attention to Namibia's qualification chances ahead of the 2027 tournament.
