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]].
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 teams will participate in the tournament, including the [[2019 Cricket World Cup|2019]] defending champions, [[England cricket team|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 Cricket World Cup|1987]], [[1996 Cricket World Cup|1996]], and [[2011 Cricket World Cup|2011]].


[[2023 Cricket World Cup final|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.
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" />


==Format==
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.
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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Format |url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2914163 |access-date=21 November 2022|website=www.icc-cricket.com |language=en}}</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>

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. 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.<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 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 are the defending champions, having won the 2019 edition by defeating New Zealand in the 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 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, with the Netherlands and Sri Lanka securing the final two places via the qualifier tournament in Zimbabwe during June and July 2023, with West Indies missing out on qualification for the first time in their history.[1]

It is the first men's Cricket World Cup which India is hosting solely. They co-hosted the 1987, 1996 and 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.

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 is 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.[1]

Marketing

The International Cricket Council announced the winner's trophy would tour the world 100 days before the commencement of the event. Photographs of the trophy were taken at each location.[17]

Ahead of the tournament, it was reported that an opening ceremony would take place on 4 October 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, a day before the opening match at the same venue.[18] The organisers cancelled the opening ceremony, and replaced it with a press conference featuring the ten team captains.[19]

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". They embody the principle of gender equality.[20][21]

The official theme song of the 2023 Cricket World Cup titled "Dil Jashn Bole" (transl. Heart say celebrate) was released on 20 September. The song was composed by Pritam while lyrics were written by Shloke Lal and Saaveri Verma. The song was sung by Pritam, Nakash Aziz, Sreerama Chandra, Amit Mishra, Jonita Gandhi, Akasa Singh and S. P. Charan. The accompanying music video featured actor Ranveer Singh, many Indian Instagram reel makers and YouTubers.[22] However, the song was subject to backlash, bad reviews.[23]

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.[24]

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.[6]

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.[25]

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 Men's T20 World Cup). These include using a specific wetting agent, and the boundary set at around 70 m (77 yards) at each stadium, with more grass on the pitch to encourage seam bowling over spin bowling.[26]
