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.

Ten national teams are participating that is Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. Netherlands and Sri Lanka qualified by playing qualifier tournament held in Zimbabwe earlier this year. [1] Teams had to progress to the tournament via the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process, with the West Indies missing out for the first time in their history. England are the defending champions, having won the 2019 edition by defeating New Zealand in the final at Lord's, London.

It is the first men's Cricket World Cup which India is hosting solely. They co-hosted 1987, 1996 and 2011 editions with other neighbouring 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]

Qualification

Highlighted are the countries that will be participating in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
  Qualified as host
  Qualified via the 2020-2023 Super League
  Qualified via the 2023 Qualifier
  Participated in the qualifier but failed to qualify

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]

Venues

The tournament is taking place in ten different stadiums situated in 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.[24]

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 minimum 70 m (77 yards) with more grass on the pitch to encourage seam bowling over spin bowling.[25]
