The top two teams at the tournament, Canada and the United States , progressed to the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier in Ireland and Scotland, where the top six teams will qualify for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in India.[ 5] The tournament was organised by ICC Americas , and featured the top four associate members in that region – Bermuda , Canada, Suriname , and the United States. The West Indies cricket team is a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and thus qualifies directly for the World Twenty20.
