A total of 10 teams will participate in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. India, South Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Bangladesh qualified based on the Cricket World Cup Super League standings, while Sri Lanka and the Netherlands qualified for the event after the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier.
Before the squad was announced, reports emerged in the Bangladesh media claiming that Shakib Al Hasan threatened to step down from captaincy and not participate in the tournament if half-fit players were selected.
