Afghanistan have confirmed their place at next year’s ICC Cricket World Cup after their ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday was abandoned due to rain.
The five extra points that Afghanistan receive in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League standings courtesy of the no result takes the Asian side to a total of 115 points in the current cycle.
That has them sitting safely in seventh place on the current standings, with the top eight sides at the end of the Super League earning an automatic spot at next year’s 50-over World Cup in India.—Ariana news
