Cricket World Cup 2023 is surrounded by clouds. The most desired tournament in the subcontinent is being hampered by regional strategic entaglements that have developed months before the cricket world cup is set to start in India.
These obstacles have made it more difficult to finalize the event’s specifics. Which has worried cricket fans. The resulting delay stands in stark contrast to the 2019 competition. Where the dates and locations for the tournament in England and wales were revealed more than a year in advance in line with standard procedure for big athletic events.
The 10 team tournament will be held in October and November, and as the board of control for cricket in India (BCCI) has previously co-hosted three ODI world Cups, planning the event shouldn’t be too challenging.
However, this time the rivalry between India and Pakistan’s governmental systems has made things more difficult, and cricket is now stuck in the geopolitical quagmire between the rival nations, who only face each other in multi-team tournaments.
India has decided against visiting Pakistan for the Asia Cup in september and will likely play their matches at a neutral venue as a result the organizers agreement on a hybrid model, a decision that appears to be destined to draw a tit for tat response.
While the PCB rejected media reports that it had raised the issue during the ICC board meetings in Dubai last month, it said that it might raise the issue at the appropriate ICC forum at the appropriate time.
The BCCI would be required to obtain Indian government approval for Pakistan’s visa if it decided to visit India. According to rumours, relocating matches outside of India had not even been brought up, and the schedule will be revealed when it was time.
