2023 Cricket World Cup

The 2023 ICC Men's 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 with dates rumoured to be from 5 October to 19 November 2023,[1] though the ICC previously announced the final would be on 26 November.[2] It 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;[3][4] but, in July 2020, it was announced that the tournament would be delayed to an October–November window,[5] following the disruption of the qualification schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Controversy

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had threatened to boycott the 2023 World Cup in India after host BCCI refused to send its team to the 2023 Asia Cup scheduled in Pakistan.[9][10] However, in March 2023 a resolution was brokered.[11]
