International Cricket Council (ICC) chief Geoff Allardyce revealed that the ICC will publish the schedule for the ODI World Cup 2023 as soon as possible, but added that they are yet to receive the schedule from the host country India. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah had earlier confirmed that the schedule would be released during the ongoing World Test Championship final (June 7 to June 11), but now Allardyce’s statement suggests a further delay.
India will host the 50-over World Cup in October-November this year, but there is no official update on the schedule and venues yet. The ICC published the schedules of the last two 50-over World Cup tournaments (2015 and 2019) more than a year in advance. However, Allardyce, speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, 7 June, insisted that he needed to consult with the participating teams and broadcasters before announcing the schedule and delivering a successful event.
“I think even today (Wednesday) we will be getting schedules from the hosts, and we’ve got a bit of consultation to do with all the participating teams and broadcasters. Then we’ll publish that as soon as possible.” Possibly can,” Allardyce said. “When we put on events, we work closely with the hosts.
“And in some places, there is a lot of consultation required, both within the cricket system and with governments, etc. There is a lot of responsibility on a host to put on a good event, and they have to go through that.” The right checks and balances.”
When asked about Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup in India, Allardyce tried to deflect the question by saying that the ICC would make a statement only after receiving the schedule.
He said, “Until I see the schedule…I’m waiting, and I hope to see something about it in the next day or two.” “Our events team is very experienced in organizing cricket events in all different countries, and you control what you see.
