India will take on Pakistan in the 2023 men’s ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.
Ahmedabad is also staging the tournament opener between England and New Zealand, the teams that contested the thrilling tied final in 2019, on October 5.
The World Cup schedule has been announced after a significant delay. On May 27, Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, had said the schedule would be out during the World Test Championship final. He did not provide the reason behind the delay, though. On the first day of the WTC final, speaking on the BBC’s Test Match Special, ICC CEO Geoff Allardice said the schedule would be out “anytime soon”, but did not specify when exactly.
