World Cup Qualification

[KingCostly]

Does anybody know how the 10 teams are picked for the World Cup in game?

I'm sure it used to be the top 8 in the rankings and then another 2 at random.

I remember it being changed in an update to just the top 10 in the rankings but if so, I don't think it's working as planned.

I just noticed that Afghanistan won the World Cup in my game! I looked at the ODI rankings and they are 11th so technically shouldn't have even been in it!

Is this a bug or am I missing something? Zimbabwe are ranked 10th but for some reason didn't enter.

The system change would only get picked up when you change to the next season, so if you were in May 2019 in-game and got our update, the teams for the World Cup are already picked. so you wouldn't get the new qualification system until the next World Cup.
