I actually really feel bad that two teams, UAE, and USA, both of which are made up of foreign players, are going to be qualified. I really wanted to see teams that are made out of native players being qualified. But that did not happen. And of course, it is always going to be hard to happen.

After all, they are playing in the team as foreign players for a reason. This really should change very fast. Otherwise, cricket is not going to be alive amongst the associate nations, which are actually trying to find talent and not buy them.

We have six teams in this qualifying round with three having native players and three are with adopted players which are having good advantage, but sadly ICC is not interested in any solid policy about this all because of their inner politics so just because of this many countries are suffering like Namibia, PNG and Nepal and few countries are taking good results just because of their adoption policy which is helping them even in long run it's never been positive thing I was expecting USA and Canada to qualify from here, but sadly Canada lost against Namibia and this was big below for them which bring them down in table and UAE take good advantage of this and having spot in qualifying round which is now going to play before World Cup 2023 in India.

ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023 has been concluded with USA and UAE finishing at the top. You pointed it right teams like UAE has zero native player rather all are invited from South Asia. Since UAE is a rich country they won't have any problem in paying expats but this is creating negative impact on teams like Nepal. Recently Nepal took over UAE by finish 3rd in WORLD CUP LEAGUE 2, which is an indication that there team is getting experience and gaining momentum with time.
