==Criticisms and Controversies==
!Territory
Fans in India are facing difficulties in buying tickets. There is high demand for India team's match tickets. The official platform Book My Show, shows that all India match tickets are sold out. In contrast, tickets are available on reselling platforms, where many people are re-selling them in [[lakh]]s of rupees. Many fans said that, when they entered in the Book My Show portal for ticket booking, it placed them in queue for 2 to 5 hours and those who reached to the seat selection page, were not able to book the ticket, many alleged that the tickets were sold out before the official booking was started. Due to the outrage of fans, [[BCCI]] announced that they would make 400,000 tickets available for the tournament.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2023 World Cup Tickets for 'Sold Out' India Matches Being Re-Sold for Lakhs |url=https://www.thequint.com/sports/cricket/2023-icc-world-cup-india-matches-tickets-sold-out-reselling-for-lakhs |url-status=live |website=[[The Quint]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=BCCI set to release 400000 ticket... |url=https://www.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/icc-world-cup/bcci-set-to-release-400000-tickets-for-icc-mens-cricket-world-cup-2023/amp_articleshow/103440619.cms |url-status=live |website=Times of india}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The 'impossible' task of buying tickets for the 2023 cricket World Cup |url=https://www.forbesindia.com/article/news/the-impossible-task-of-buying-tickets-for-the-2023-cricket-world-cup/88061/1 |url-status=live |website=[[Forbes India]]}}</ref> On 8 September 2023, once again Book My Show sold tickets but similar things happened, many waited for 2-3 hours on the apk but didn't got single ticket.

Either the ticket partners are incompetent to handle the ticket and traffic or this is another eyewash in the name of releasing tickets. Hope there is a proper audit and identification of how the tickets are sold and to whom and what platform."  he said the ticketing portal a mess, it is incompetent, its ticket selling process is non- transparent, it will encourage black marketeers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=‘Yes men don’t want to speak up’ – Venkatesh Prasad tears into BCCI for ‘incompetence’ in social media rant |url=https://wisden.com/series-stories/world-cup-2023/venkatesh-prasad-tears-bcci-incompetence-ticketing-asia-cup-twitter-rant-world-cup-2023 |url-status=live |website=[[Wisden]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title='BCCI Needs to do Far Better..': Venkatesh Prasad Feels India 'Messed up' Ahead of ODI World Cup 2023 - News18 |url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/icc-odi-world-cup-2023-bcci-tickets-issue-schedule-revision-venkatesh-prasad-india-messed-up-8570892.html |access-date=2023-09-09 |website=www.news18.com |language=en}}</ref>

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.

Format

The tournament will feature 10 teams, and follow the same format as the 2019 edition, with a round-robin stage followed by a semi-final and final.[1]

Background

Originally, the competition was to be played from 9 February to 26 March 2023.[2][3] 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.[4][5] The ICC released the tournament schedule on 27 June 2023.[6][7]

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.[8][9] 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.[10][11]

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.[12] 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.[13][14]

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.[15] The final qualification spot fell to an eliminator between associate members, Scotland and Netherlands.[16] The Netherlands won the eliminator and took the final spot in the finals stage of the competition.[17]

Criticisms and Controversies

Fans in India are facing difficulties in buying tickets. There is high demand for India team's match tickets. The official platform Book My Show, shows that all India match tickets are sold out. In contrast, tickets are available on reselling platforms, where many people are re-selling them in lakhs of rupees. Many fans said that, when they entered in the Book My Show portal for ticket booking, it placed them in queue for 2 to 5 hours and those who reached to the seat selection page, were not able to book the ticket, many alleged that the tickets were sold out before the official booking was started. Due to the outrage of fans, BCCI announced that they would make 400,000 tickets available for the tournament.[41][42][43] On 8 September 2023, once again Book My Show sold tickets but similar things happened, many waited for 2-3 hours on the apk but didn't got single ticket. India's ex international player Venkatesh Prasad criticized the ticket selling platform and the BCCI, he tweeted "This doesn't look good. Either the ticket partners are incompetent to handle the ticket and traffic or this is another eyewash in the name of releasing tickets. Hope there is a proper audit and identification of how the tickets are sold and to whom and what platform." he said the ticketing portal a mess, it is incompetent, its ticket selling process is non- transparent, it will encourage black marketeers.[44][45]
