Australia will play the Oceania Qualifier from 9 to 11 November in American Samoa, in a double round robin tournament that will feature the host team and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to bringing a new group of players in the Steelers fold through this competition. It gives a great opportunity to bring through a new group of players who will be keen to contest selection for the World Cup group stage next year\u201d said Harrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oceania Qualifier will consist of a double round-robin format, with the teams playing six games in three days. The top two teams at the conclusion of the double round-robin will progress to the WBSC World Cup Group Stage in 2024.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
