The Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India has proposed 15 potential locations for the upcoming 50-over ICC World Cup, set to take place in India. This prestigious competition marks the return of the World Cup to India after a gap of 12 years. It was during the previous edition that the Indian cricket team, famously known as the Men in Blue, ended a 28-year-long wait to clinch the coveted championship. Cricket enthusiasts and fans are eagerly anticipating the tournament, hoping for thrilling matches and unforgettable moments as teams from around the world compete for cricketing glory.
According to recent sources, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated that the 2023 World Cup schedule will be revealed during the World Test Championship final between India and Australia at the Oval, which begins on June 7, 2023. According to additional sources, the board has compiled a list of potential tournament locations across India. However, the ICC will shortly receive the final list of locations.
During a press conference held after the BCCI’s extraordinary general meeting in Ahmedabad, Shah’s statements were quoted by Cricinfo. With approximately four months remaining until the event starts, the BCCI has not yet finalized the itinerary for the ten-team World Cup, scheduled to take place between October 5 and November 19.
