Women's One Day International

Involved nations

In 2006 the ICC announced that only the top-10 ranked sides would have Test and ODI status. Netherlands lost its ODI status due to not finishing in the top 6 placings during the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier. Bangladesh replaced the Netherlands as one of the ten countries with ODI status.

In September 2018, ICC chief executive Dave Richardson announced that all matches at ICC World Cup Qualifiers would be awarded ODI status. However, in November 2021, the ICC reversed this decision and determined that all fixtures in the Women's World Cup Qualifier featuring a team without ODI status would be recorded as a List A match. This followed an announcement retrospectively applying first-class and List A status to women's cricket.

In April 2021, the ICC awarded permanent Test and ODI status to all full member women's teams. Afghanistan and Zimbabwe gained ODI status for the first time as a result of this decision (Afghanistan are yet to play a women's ODI).

The teams with WODI status (with the date of each team's WODI debut) are:

1. (23 June 1973)
2. (23 June 1973)
3. (23 June 1973)
4. (1 January 1978)
5. (6 June 1979)
6. (28 January 1997)
7. (5 August 1997)
8. (25 November 1997)
9. (5 October 2021)
10. (5 October 2021)
11. (10 November 2021)
12. (no matches played)

Temporary ODI status

The ICC grants temporary ODI status to additional teams representing Associate members. In May 2022, the ICC awarded women's ODI status to the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Thailand and the United States; all of these nations other than Scotland had qualified for the abandoned 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier (although PNG withdrew from the qualifier due to COVID-19).

The following five teams currently (from May 2025) have this status (the dates listed in brackets are of their first ODI match after gaining temporary ODI status):

• (from 22 August 2022, until the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
• (from 20 November 2022, until the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
• (from 17 October 2023, until the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
• (from 24 March 2024, until the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)
• (from 26 September 2025, until the 2029 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier)

In 2024, the ICC announced the mechanism for ODI status for the five teams for the 2025-2029 cycle, saying "It will consist of a maximum of two AMs that qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2025 with the remaining slots determined by the ICC T20I team rankings at the time of the annual update."

Additionally, five teams have previously held this temporary ODI status before either being promoted to Test Status or relegated after under-performing at the World Cup Qualifier:

• (8 August 1984, until 24 November 2011)
• (28 June 1987, until 13 June 2018)
• (19 July 1989, until 21 July 1999)
• (26 November 2011, until 4 November 2019)
• (from 11 April 2024, until the 3 May 2025)

Special ODI status

The ICC can also grant special ODI status to all matches within certain high-profile tournaments, with the result being that the following countries have also participated in full ODIs, with some later gaining temporary or permanent ODI status also fitting into this category:

• (2003 IWCC Trophy)

There are also four other teams which once had ODI status, but either no longer exist or no longer play international cricket. Three appeared only in the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup.

• [[File:Flag of None.svg|25px]] International XI (1973–1982)
• JAM Jamaica (1973 only)
• TRI Trinidad and Tobago (1973 only)
• ENG Young England (1973 only)

Rankings

Before October 2018, ICC did not maintain a separate Twenty20 ranking for the women's game, instead aggregating performance over all three forms of the game into one overall women's teams ranking. In January 2018, ICC granted international status to all matches between associate nations and announced plan to launch separate T20I rankings for women. In October 2018 the T20I rankings were launched with separate ODI rankings for Full Members.
