The Jersey Cricket Board were awarded the hosting rights in October 2015, with the Nigeria Cricket Federation the only other bidder.

Teams

Six teams qualified for the tournament:
In March 2016 Suriname withdrew from the tournament due to an ICC investigation about the eligibility of some of their players. At least six players had doubts raised regarding their eligibility, including the Division Six tournament's man of the series, Gavin Singh and the leading wicket-taker, Muneshwar Patandin. Vanuatu were named as their replacement.
