ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule announced: India vs Pakistan match in Ahmedabad; Complete schedule here

ICC has released the full fixtures for the upcoming ODI World Cup that will be held in India. This is the first time India is holding the World Cup on its own. ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule announced: India vs Pakistan match at Ahmedabad; Compete schedule here.

Just like it was anticipated, reigning champions England will play New Zealand for the first game of ODI World Cup 2023 on October 5. Meanwhile, India will play their first game against Australia on October 8. The delay in announcing the ODI World Cup 2023 schedule is due to many technical factors, especially a bone of contention between India and Pakistan.

There is still uncertainty over Pakistan’s participation in the cricket world cup. Last month, ICC chairman Greg Barclay and CEO Geoff Allardice travelled to Pakistan to convince PCB Chief to send his players to India for the upcoming World Cup. ICC started the World Cup trophy on Monday by sending the prestigious trophy 1,20,000 feet above the Earth before landing it at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

This remarkable feat was achieved by attaching the trophy to a stratospheric balloon. The top cricketing body also shared images of the ODI World Cup trophy at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere.  The 2023 Trophy tour will be the biggest one so far and will allow fans from different cities in the world to connect with the prestigious silverware. The trophy will travel to 18 countries including Kuwait, Bahrain, Malaysia, USA, Nigeria, Uganda, France, Italy, the United States of America and India.
