2023 Cricket World Cup

The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament contested by men's national teams and organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is scheduled to be hosted by India from 5 October to 19 November 2023, [1] and will be the first time the competition is held entirely in India. Three previous editions were partially hosted there – 1987, 1996, and 2011. Originally, the tournament was scheduled to be played from 9 February to 26 March 2023;[2][3] but, in July 2020, it was announced that the tournament would be delayed to an October–November window,[4] following the disruption of the qualification schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
