2019 Cricket World Cup qualification
Americas NSC
The Americas NSC section (representing countries/territories located in North America, South America & Central America) of the 2019 Cricket World Cup qualification will act as qualifiers for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, set to be hosted by England & Wales. A total of 17 nations will participate in the process. The list of participating nations includes Guyana, one of the six major member nations of the here non existent West Indies cricket team; Colombia, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, Paraguay and Puerto Rico who are not currently under the list of active ICC members as of 28 May 2017. Ecuador, also a non-ICC member only narrowly missed the eventual cut of 17 teams.
The format for the Americas NSC qualifiers will be the single elimination or knockout format. A Preliminary Round will take place shortly before the main draw of the tournament involving 16 teams, to determine a qualifier from one of El Salvador and the Falkland Islands. The winners of the semi-finals of the competition and 3rd place playoff will gain the 3 available berths for the Americas NSC region to qualify for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The tournament is set to be hosted by the United States of America, with the Leo Magnus Cricket Complex in Los Angeles, California; and Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, Florida acting as the two venues.
