The '''2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup''' is the 13th edition of the [[Cricket World Cup]], a quadrennial [[One Day International]] (ODI) [[cricket]] tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC). The tournament is being hosted by [[India]], it started on 5 October and is scheduled to conclude on 19 November 2023. [[England cricket team|England]] are the defending champions, having won the [[2019 Cricket World Cup|2019 edition]] by defeating New Zealand in the [[2019 Cricket World Cup final|final]] at [[Lord's]], London.

Ten national teams are participating. All had to qualify for the tournament though the [[2023 Cricket World Cup qualification]] process. India qualified as hosts; Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa qualified via the [[2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League|ICC Cricket World Cup Super League]], with the Netherlands and Sri Lanka securing the final two places via the [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier|qualifier tournament]] in Zimbabwe during June and July 2023, with [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] missing out on qualification for the first time in their history.<ref name="Witney-6Jul2023" />

It is the first men's Cricket World Cup which India is hosting solely. They co-hosted the [[1987 Cricket World Cup|1987]], [[1996 Cricket World Cup|1996]] and [[2011 Cricket World Cup|2011]] editions with other nations. The tournament is taking place in ten different stadiums, in ten cities 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]], Ahmedabad.

Like the [[2019 Cricket World Cup|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 [[2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League|series of matches played between 2020 and 2023]] rather than the [[ICC men's ODI team rankings|ODI rankings]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Explainer: ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup-super-league/about |website=International Cricket Council |access-date=5 July 2023}}</ref> The top eight of the 13 sides in the Super League qualified for the World Cup automatically, although as hosts [[India national cricket team|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 [[List of International Cricket Council members#Associate Members|associate sides]] competed in the [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]] for the remaining two places.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/18611956/radical-schedule-shake-proposed-icc-meeting |title=New cricket calendar aims to give all formats more context |work=ESPN Cricinfo |date=4 February 2017 |access-date=20 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27384084/how-teams-secure-qualification-rank-no-1-32 |title=The road to World Cup 2023: how teams can secure qualification, from rank No. 1 to 32 |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=14 August 2019}}</ref>

As a result of the qualifying process, the competition is the first not to include former winners [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], who failed to progress from the qualifying process after their defeat to [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]]. Full members [[Ireland cricket team|Ireland]] and [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] also missed out on qualification, meaning three of the four [[List of International Cricket Council members#Full Members|full members]] who took part in the knock-out qualification stage did not qualify, with only [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] progressing.<ref name="AP-6Jul23">{{cite web |date=2 July 2023 |title=Sri Lanka qualifies for Cricket World Cup; Zimbabwe, Scotland to scrap it out for final place |url=https://apnews.com/article/cricket-world-cup-sri-lanka-e33210704673c6c856a807b9edb8b506 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230706194722/https://apnews.com/article/cricket-world-cup-sri-lanka-e33210704673c6c856a807b9edb8b506 |archive-date=6 July 2023 |website=AP News |location=New York |publisher=[[Associated Press]] |access-date=6 July 2023}}</ref> The final qualification spot fell to an eliminator between associate members, [[Scotland national cricket team|Scotland]] and [[Netherlands national cricket team|Netherlands]].<ref>{{cite web |date=1 July 2023 |title=West Indies Officially Eliminated from 2023 World Cup Race After Thumping Loss to Scotland in Historic Low |url=https://www.wisden.com/series-stories/world-cup-qualifier-2023/west-indies-officially-eliminated-from-2023-world-cup-race-after-thumping-loss-to-scotland-in-historic-low-cwc-qualifier/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704202304/https://wisden.com/series-stories/world-cup-qualifier-2023/west-indies-officially-eliminated-from-2023-world-cup-race-after-thumping-loss-to-scotland-in-historic-low-cwc-qualifier |archive-date=4 July 2023 |website=[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]] |location=London |publisher=Bloomsbury |access-date=4 July 2023}}</ref> The Netherlands won the eliminator and took the final spot in the finals stage of the competition.<ref name="Witney-6Jul2023">{{cite web |last=Witney |first=Katya |date=6 July 2023 |title=CWC Qualifier 2023: Netherlands qualify for World Cup at Scotland's expense after stunning Bas de Leede heist |url=https://www.wisden.com/series-stories/world-cup-qualifier-2023/cwc-qualifier-2023-netherlands-qualify-world-cup-bas-de-leede |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230709130252/https://wisden.com/series-stories/world-cup-qualifier-2023/cwc-qualifier-2023-netherlands-qualify-world-cup-bas-de-leede |archive-date=9 July 2023 |website=Wisden |location=London |publisher=Bloomsbury |access-date=9 July 2023}}</ref>

The ICC officially announced the mascots for the World Cup on August 19; following the announcement, there was an event held in [[Gurgaon]] with two U-19 World Cup-winning captains, [[Shafali Verma]] and [[Yash Dhull]]. The mascots are a male and female duo named "Tonk" and "Blaze" respectively from the fictional cricketing utopia called "Crictoverse".

== New rules ==
This is the first ICC World Cup in which penalties for "slow over-rates" will be given to bowling sides, if they did not complete its 50 overs in the stipulated time. On-field umpires can penalise the bowling team by not allowing more than 4 fielders outside the 30 yard circle.<ref>[[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|Star Sports 1 HD]] live commentary of the match Netherlands vs New Zealand on 9 October 2023.</ref>

==Venues==
The tournament is taking place in ten different stadiums, situated in ten different cities 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]].<ref name="Fixtures" />

The BCCI has provided funding for renovations and refurbishments at stadiums. [[Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium]] received a new grass surface, drainage system, seating, and hospitality boxes. Wankhede Stadium had upgrades to the outfield, floodlights, corporate boxes, and toilets. [[M. A. Chidambaram Stadium]] installed new floodlights and relaid two wickets.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 June 2023 |title=Cricket World Cup venues to get an upgrade: Imported grass, new outfields, better floodlights |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/cricket-world-cup-venues-to-get-an-upgrade-imported-grass-new-outfields-better-floodlights-8693468/ |access-date=30 June 2023 |website=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref>

With the Autumn scheduling of this World Cup, the ICC instituted protocols for reducing the impact of moisture—including [[dew]] and rain—on pitch conditions, so that they do not give the team batting second an advantage (as had frequently occurred in the [[2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup|2021 Men's T20 World Cup]]). These include using a specific wetting agent, and the boundary set at around {{Convert|70|m|yds|abbr=in}} at each stadium, with more grass on the pitch to encourage [[seam bowling]] over [[spin bowling]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-09-20 |title=ODI World Cup: More grass, bigger boundaries to tackle dew factor |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/icc-world-cup/odi-world-cup-more-grass-bigger-boundaries-to-tackle-dew-factor/articleshow/103795737.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2023-10-05 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>
