2010 ICC World Twenty20
Group stage
Afghanistan and Ireland qualified via the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier. Zimbabwe withdrew from the 2009 competition, so failing to achieve a seed or ranking for the 2010 competition. Ireland reached the Super Eight stage of the 2009 competition, and if a test nation, would have been ranked 8th; hence an 8th seed is missing from the competition
