The International Cricket Council has announced to call off the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier to be played in Harare due to the introduction of travel restrictions from a number of African countries following breakout of a new COVID-19 variant in southern Africa.

The decision was taken during the preliminary league phase of the nine-team tournament that was to decide the final three qualifiers for the next year ICC Women's Cricket World Cup to be played in New Zealand.

Bangladesh, West Indies and Pakistan will now progress to the event in New Zealand according to their ranking.
