On Friday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the schedule for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025, which will held in Pakistan from April 9 to 19. This will be the sixth edition tournament, featuring Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Indies, and Ireland along with associate teams Scotland and Thailand. Matches will be played at two venues in Lahore: the well-known Gaddafi Stadium and the Lahore Cricket Club Association (LCCA) Oval.  

The tournament will have 15 matches, starting with Pakistan playing against Ireland on April 9. On the same day, West Indies will face Scotland at the LCCA. The top two teams at the end of the league stage will qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, joining Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and hosts India, who secured their spots through the ICC Women’s Championship (2022-25).
