The much-awaited ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 schedule is finally set to be officially revealed in Mumbai on Tuesday, with 100 days left for the tournament to begin. The World Cup 2023 is officially scheduled to begin on 5 October.
But just days ahead of the announcement, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have made a major change to the draft schedule presented earlier to the international body. Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens is all set to replace the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai to host the semi-finals of the CWC 2023, according to a report in the Cricbuzz website.
Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is set to host the second semi-final, while Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium will be the venue for the final in November as well as the opening match on October 5. “It was decided to allot the semi-finals to Eden Gardens. At a meeting of state associations of host cities with officials from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday (June 26). 12 associations attended the meeting,” said the Cricbuzz report.
According to reports, the main reason for shifting the semi-final from the home of MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings to Kolkata was the expected weather in the Tamil Nadu capital in October-November. “The region experiences north-east monsoon in those months and the BCCI/ICC felt that the city might not be the best choice for a knockout game. However, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) will get some of the World Cup matches. The representatives of the State Board were present in the above meeting held at Mumbai. The associations were also explained about the operational tasks expected from the host association,” the report said.
The 12 venues for the World Cup 2023 are expected to be New Delhi and Dharamsala in the North Zone, Lucknow in the Central Zone, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Pune in the West, Kolkata and Guwahati in the East and Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad. , and Thiruvananthapuram in the south. Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram will host only practice games, while the other 10 centers will host 48 official World Cup matches, including three knockout games.
The request by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to change the venue for its matches has been turned down by the ICC. So the original draft schedule stands, meaning the high-profile India-Pakistan match will take place in Ahmedabad, while Chennai and Bengaluru will host Pakistan against Afghanistan and Australia respectively.
