Discussions regarding the ODI World Cup 2023 are very intense. Actually, all the teams have already started preparing to win this match. Let us tell you that this time India is hosting the ODI World Cup. All of this has recently received a significant update. In fact, the ICC is planning to officially announce the complete schedule of the ODI World Cup on June 27. Would like to tell you that this tournament will start on 5th October.
However, according to some media reports, the first match will be played between New Zealand and England on 5 October. This will be followed by the match between India and Australia on October 8, which is expected to be played at the Chepauk Stadium. At the same time, the great match between India and Pakistan will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium on the 15th of October.
BCCI had sent the draft of the ODI World Cup 2023 Schedule to ICC long back
In fact, the BCCI sent the draft of the ODI World Cup schedule to the ICC a long time ago. But since then, continuous protest was being expressed by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Also, the PCB has not yet sent its approval regarding the schedule to the ICC.
In fact, a few days ago, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Najam Sethi, had given a statement regarding the participation of the Pakistan team in the ODI World Cup. Let us tell you that we have already told the ICC that we cannot give our consent or disagreement regarding this schedule. Because it depends on our government. Just like the way the Indian team depends on the permission of its government. Can’t say anything right now about whether we will play India in Ahmedabad or not.
Not only this, but the PCB has also demanded changes in the draft schedule sent by the ICC regarding the venue of its two matches. Let us tell you that one match is going to be held against Afghanistan at Chennai ground and the other against Australia at Bengaluru ground. In reality, Pakistan does not want to face Afghanistan on a spin-friendly pitch.
