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 in India from 5 October to 19 November 2023. It was originally scheduled to take place from February to March 2023, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ten teams will participate in the tournament, including the 2019 defending champions, England. It will be the first men's Cricket World Cup to be hosted solely by India, who with other countries on the Indian subcontinent had co-hosted the event in 1987, 1996, and 2011.

The final is scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 19 November 2023. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai and Eden Gardens, Kolkata will host the two semifinals.

Background

Originally, the competition was to be played from 9 February to 26 March 2023.[1][2] In July 2020 it was announced that that the tournament would be moved to October and November as a result of the qualification schedule being disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] The ICC released the tournament schedule on 27 June 2023.[5][6]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had threatened to boycott the competition after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send a team to the 2023 Asia Cup scheduled in Pakistan.[7][8] This issue was resolved in June 2023 after the Asian Cricket Council announced that the competition would be hosted using a hybrid model proposed by the PCB, with nine of the 13 matches in the competition played in Sri Lanka.[9][10]

Qualification

Highlighted are the countries that will be participating in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

Main article: 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification

Like the previous World Cup, the tournament will feature 10 teams. The main route for qualification was, however, through the new ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, a series of matches played between 2020 and 2023 rather than the ODI rankings.[11] The top eight of the 13 sides in the Super League qualified for the World Cup automatically, although as hosts India, who finished fourth, were guaranteed a place. In June and July 2023, the bottom five teams from the Super League and the top five ranked associate sides competed in the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier for the remaining two places.[12][13]

As a result of the qualifying process, the competition will be the first not to include former winners West Indies, who failed to progress from the qualifying process after their defeat to Scotland. Full members Ireland and Zimbabwe also missed out on qualification, meaning three of the four full members who took part in the knock-out qualification stage did not qualify, with only Sri Lanka progressing.[14] The final qualification spot fell to an eliminator between associate members, Scotland and Netherlands.[15] The Netherlands won the eliminator and took the final spot in the finals stage of the competition.[16]

Trophy Tour

The International Cricket Council announced the trophy tour of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on 26 June 2023, 100 days from the commencement of the event. The Tour was launched with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Trophy being launched 120,000 feet (37 km) into the stratosphere by balloon[17], before making a landing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Photos of the trophy were taken by multiple cameras at the apex of its flight. The trophy then toured numerous countries before returning to the host country on 4 September 2023.[18]

Venues

The tournament will take place in ten different stadiums across India. The first and second semi-finals will be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and Eden Gardens in Kolkata respectively, while the final will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.[5]

Wankhede Stadium had upgrades to the outfield, floodlights, corporate boxes, and toilets. M. A. Chidambaram Stadium installed new floodlights and relaid two wickets.[19]
