ICC World Cricket League Division Two forms part of theWorld Cricket League (WCL) system. Like all other divisions, WCL Division Two is contested as a standalone tournament rather than as an actual league. Unlike lower divisions, however, matches in Division Two holdlist-A status.
The inaugural Division Two tournament was heldin 2007, hosted byNamibia and featured six teams, the top four of which progressed to the2009 World Cup Qualifier. The2011 tournament, played inDubai, similarly qualified the top four teams for the2014 World Cup Qualifier, but also promoted the top two teams to theIntercontinental Cup and theWCL Championship. The2015 Division Two event, again hosted by Namibia, served only to qualify teams for the Intercontinental Cup and WCL Championship. The top two teams at the2018 event were promoted to the2018 World Cup Qualifier.
Following the conclusion of the2019 tournament, the World Cricket League was replaced by theICC Cricket World Cup League 2 and theICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League.[1][2] The top four teams joinedScotland,Nepal and theUnited Arab Emirates in the2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 and gainedOne Day International status.[1] The bottom two teams progressed to the2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League, along with other teams from the World Cricket League.[1]
