The ICC One-Day International World Cup 2023 is eagerly anticipated. Every team is working hard to prepare for the major event, which will be conducted entirely in India. According to reports, the 50-over premier tournament would begin in early October and end in mid-November. According to ESPNCricinfo, the 2023 ODI World Cup will begin on October 5 and conclude on November 19 at the historic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. According to the same article, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the host of the ten-team competition, has finalized as many as a dozen venues for the main event.
The International Cricket Council normally releases World Cup schedules at least a year before the event
In addition to Ahmedabad, the cities that have been shortlisted include Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Indore, Rajkot, and Mumbai. It should be mentioned that, like the 2019 edition, the tournament will be held in a round-robin format and will consist of 48 matches, including three knockouts, spread over a 46-day period. As of now, the BCCI has not specified the locations of any games, nor the two or three cities where the warm-up matches would take place. The delay in finalizing the locations has been attributed to the threat posed by the monsoon season diminishing at various points across the country.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) normally releases World Cup schedules at least a year before the event. Nevertheless, much to the chagrin of cricket fans around the world, this has not been the case this time. The delay has been extended because the Indian cricket board has yet to receive the requisite government clearance. The BCCI must obtain a tax exemption in order to organize the major tournament, as well as visa approval for Team Pakistan. The Asian giants have not played a bilateral series in India since early 2013, and their most recent visit was during the 2016 T20 World Cup.
