Sixteen teams will take part in the tournament that runs Jan. 14 to Feb. 5 across four Caribbean countries. Canada will play out of Group A with defending champion Bangladesh, England and the United Arab Emirates.

Group B features India, Ireland, South Africa and Uganda while Group C comprises Afghanistan, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and Zimbabwe. Group D is made up of Australia, Scotland, Sri Lanka and host West Indies.

The top two from each of the four groups advance to the Super League with the remaining teams moving on to the Plate playoffs.
