=Americas=

In 2013, the ICC announced that no Americas regional qualifier would be held for the 2017 World Cup, citing the poor quality of women's cricket in the region both in terms of play and administration. Consequently, the West Indies (by virtue of their participation in the ICC Women's Championship) will be the only team from the ICC Americas development region to participate in the qualifying process for the World Cup.Nadia T.
