'''ICC World Cricket League Division Two''' forms part of the [[World Cricket League]] (WCL) system. Like all other divisions, WCL Division Two is contested as a standalone tournament rather than as an actual league. Unlike lower divisions, however, matches in Division Two hold [[List A cricket|list-A]] status.

The inaugural Division Two tournament was held [[2007 ICC World Cricket League Division Two|in 2007]], hosted by [[Namibia]] and featured six teams, the top four of which progressed to the [[2009 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|2009 World Cup Qualifier]]. The [[2011 ICC World Cricket League Division Two|2011 tournament]], played in [[Dubai]], similarly qualified the top four teams for the [[2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|2014 World Cup Qualifier]], but also promoted the top two teams to the [[ICC Intercontinental Cup|Intercontinental Cup]] and the [[ICC World Cricket League Championship|WCL Championship]]. The [[2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two|2015 Division Two]] event, again hosted by Namibia, served only to qualify teams for the Intercontinental Cup and WCL Championship. The top two teams at the [[2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two|2018 event]] were promoted to the [[2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|2018 World Cup Qualifier]].

Following the conclusion of the [[2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two|2019 tournament]], the World Cricket League was replaced by the [[ICC Cricket World Cup League 2]] and the [[ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League]].<ref name="ICC">{{Cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/881375 |title=New qualification pathway for ICC Men's Cricket World Cup approved |accessdate=20 October 2018 |work=International Cricket Council}}</ref><ref name="CI">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/25033717/associates-pathway-2023-world-cup-undergoes-major-revamp |title=Associates pathway to 2023 World Cup undergoes major revamp |work=ESPN Cricinfo |accessdate=20 October 2018}}</ref> The top four teams joined [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]], [[Nepal national cricket team|Nepal]] and the [[United Arab Emirates national cricket team|United Arab Emirates]] in the [[2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2]] and gained [[One Day International]] status.<ref name="ICC">{{Cite web |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/881375 |title=New qualification pathway for ICC Men's Cricket World Cup approved |accessdate=20 October 2018 |work=International Cricket Council}}</ref> The bottom two teams progressed to the [[2019–21 ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League]], along with other teams from the World Cricket League.<ref name="ICC"/>
