| General Information |
The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier B was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. It was hosted by Germany in July 2024.[1][2] This was the first time Germany were awarded hosting rights of an ICC qualification pathway event.[3] Together with sub-regional Qualifiers A and C, the tournament formed the first stage of the qualification pathway in Europe.[4]
The event was planned to be held at two venues like the other two sub-regional qualifiers but on the day before first matches ICC announced that the ground inside the GelsenTrabPark, Gelsenkirchen could not be approved for the event. The schedule was changed to hold all matches at Krefeld.[5][6]
Jersey defeated Norway in the final and advanced to the Regional final[7][8] where they will be joined by Netherlands and Scotland who qualified directly due to participating in the previous T20 World Cup, as well as two other teams from the sub-regional qualifiers.[9]
