BCCI shares the Draft Schedule of ODI World Cup 2023 with ICC
The much-awaited Cricket World Cup 2023 is all set to begin from October in India. Notably, the last ODI World Cup edition that was held in India was in 2011, and it is after a gap of 12 years that the event has returned to the subcontinent. A total of 10 teams will participate in the marquee event, of which eight are already confirmed, and two will be decided through the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifier in Zimbabwe.
The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has handed over a draft schedule for the upcoming 50-over World Cup to the International Cricket Council (ICC), which mentions that the first match will take place on October 5 between the defending champions England and the last edition’s runner-up New Zealand. Meanwhile, India will begin their campaign three days later against Australia on October 8.
