England have struggled in ODIs in recent years. The 2019 World Cup champions have won only seven of 22 matches since the 2023 World Cup. They endured an early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Only Bangladesh have a worse winning rate among teams that qualified for the last World Cup.
The English team had previously swept the West Indies in a three-match series under Brook’s captaincy in May. However, they are eighth in the ICC rankings, four points behind Afghanistan and 37 points behind India, raising concerns about their chances of automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup.
Hosts Qualify Automatically for 2027 World Cup, England Must Improve ODI Form
The 2027 World Cup will be expanded to 14 teams, compared to 10 in the previous two editions. The tournament format has changed: the 14 teams will be split into two groups of seven, with the top three from each group advancing to a Super Six stage.
England have 18 months to improve their ODI performance and ICC ranking to ensure they stay comfortably above the cut-off for direct qualification.
England in Danger of Missing Automatic Qualification
England’s next home summer will feature three ODIs against India, a tri-series in Pakistan, and a bilateral series against Australia. Every series before the 2027 World Cup qualification cutoff is against a top-six-ranked ODI team.
Even if England drop out of the top eight by March 2027, the expanded 14-team format ensures they will likely participate in the World Cup, either directly or through the Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
