[1] The top five teams, along with the hosts India,[2] qualified directly for the World Cup.

[7] England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies also competed in the first two editions of the Women's Championship.

In September 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that they were exploring the option to expand the Women's Championship from eight teams to ten teams, therefore including Bangladesh and Ireland in future editions of the competition.

[8][9] It was originally decided that the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier would be used to determine the new teams, but when the tournament was called off midway through due to the discovery of a new variant of COVID-19 in Southern Africa,[10] Bangladesh and Ireland joined the ICC Women's Championship for this cycle,[11] based on their ODI rankings.

[14] Later in March 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed three series,[15] with two of those at home, against Sri Lanka and Ireland, and a tour to Australia.
