2023 Cricket world cup time table

Teams selected for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup



 The 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, an ODI cricket competition held every four years between men's national teams and hosted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), will take place in 2023. India will serve as the host nation for the event, which will run from October 5 to November 19, 2023.

How many teams will play in the 2023 Cricket World Cup?

Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka are the ten participating national teams. The West Indies missed out on the event for the first time in their history as teams had to advance through the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification procedure. The 2019 competition was won by England, who defeated New Zealand in the championship match.

India will be the only nation to host the men's Cricket World Cup; before, the event was co-hosted by other nations in the Indian subcontinent in 1987, 1996, and 2011. Ten different venues will host the competition. While the final will be staged in Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the first and second semi-finals will take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and Eden Gardens in Kolkata, respectively.

The tournament was originally scheduled to take place from 9 February to 26 March 2023. The tournament was announced to be shifted to October and November 2020 in response to the COVID-19 outbreak disrupting the qualification timetable. On June 27, 2023, the ICC made the tournament schedule public.

After the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) declined to send a team to the 2023 Asia Cup set for Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) vowed to boycott the event. After the Asian Cricket Council stated that the competition would be staged under a hybrid model suggested by the PCB, with nine of the championship's 13 matches taking place in Sri Lanka, this problem was settled in June 2023.

Qualification

The World Cup will include 10 teams, much like the previous one. The new ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, a series of games played between 2020 and 2023, served as the primary pathway for qualifying as opposed to the ODI rankings. The top eight of the Super League's 13 teams automatically advanced to the World Cup, while hosts India, who placed fourth, already had a spot reserved. The 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier included competition for the last two spots in June and July 2023 between the top five rated associate sides and the Super League's lowest five teams.

Due to the qualifying procedure, the competition will be the first to be held without the participation of past champions West Indies, who were unable to advance after losing to Scotland. Three of the four full members who participated in the knock-out qualification stage did not qualify, with only Sri Lanka moving on. Full members Ireland and Zimbabwe both failed to do so. An eliminator between associate members Scotland and Netherlands took the last qualifying berth. The Netherlands secured the final slot in the competition's final round after winning the eliminator.


On August 19, ICC made the World Cup mascots official; the next day, two U-19 World Cup champion captains, Shafali Verma and Yash Dhull, spoke at a ceremony in Gurugram, Delhi. A male and female team from the imagined cricketing utopia known as Crictoverse will serve as the mascots. Additionally, it stands for distinctive characteristics and reflects both gender variety and equality.

Dil Jashn Bole

On September 20, "Dil Jashn Bole," the 2023 Cricket World Cup's official anthem, was made public. Pritam created the music, and Shloke Lal and Saaveri Verma wrote the words. Pritam, Nakash Aziz, Sreerama Chandra, Amit Mishra, Jonita Gandhi, Akasa Singh, and Charan performed the song. Ranveer Singh, who took center stage in the song, Dhanashree Verma, YouTube stars Nikunj Lotia (as Be YouNick), Gaurav Taneja (aka Flying Beast), Tanmay Singh (aka Gamer Scout), Viraj Ghelani, Ruhee Dosani, and presenter Jatin Sapru were also present. The anthem song, however, was poorly received by the audience.

The winner of the World Cup

The winner of the World Cup will get US$4 million in prize money, while the runner-up will receive US$2 million, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Semifinalists who lose will each get $800,000. The prize money for the 2019 competition is precisely the same as this. The event will award a total of $10 million in prizes. Based on how each team does in the competition, they will each get the following sums of money.


The schedule was made public by the ICC on June 27, 2023.
