Regional qualifying events will be held across the five regions to provide a qualifying pathway to the 16-team qualifier which will take place in early 2012 in the United Arab Emirates.
The six Associate/Affiliate Members with ODI status - Afghanistan, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands and Scotland - have automatically qualified for this event.
Three teams from the Asia region, two teams from Africa, Americas and Europe, and one team from East Asia-Pacific will have the opportunity to qualify for the ICC World Twenty20 2012 global qualifier.
Some ODI status Associate/Affiliate sides will take part in these qualifying events, along with emerging teams from ICC Full Members (e.g. South Africa and Zimbabwe). In such cases, the highest placed Associate and Affiliate sides from these events will progress to the global qualifier, based on the qualifying spots available, which are outlined above.
