Germany are among the favourites to win the 10-team event and join the Netherlands, Scotland and Italy in the main ICC European regional qualifier – the top two from which will go to the 2026 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
The qualifier is set to be held next summer, by which time the younger Kohler-Cadmore’s England prospects will be clearer.
He is aware of Germany’s interest but is fully focused on forging an international career with England for the time being.
Under ICC regulations, Kohler-Cadmore could potentially play in the 2025 qualifier, the dates and location of which have not yet been finalised, should Germany make it and then switch allegiances back to England if they came calling.
He would, though, have to wait three years to represent Germany – an Associate member of the ICC currently ranked 34th in the world – if he played for England first.
Kohler-Cadmore would also still need to apply for a German passport, and negotiate his release from Somerset, who he is contracted to until 2025.
There is little financial incentive for Kohler-Cadmore to represent Germany but the chance to play international cricket alongside his brother, with the cherry of a potential T20 World Cup appearance, does have some sentimental appeal.
Former Australia batter Joe Burns, 34, recently played a key role in securing Italy’s place in next summer’s ICC European regional qualifier driven by a desire to pay tribute to his late brother.
