ICC has officially shared the updated schedule for the ODI World Cup 2023 slated to be held in India and as many as nine fixtures have been rescheduled according to the apex governing body. India’s marquee clash against Pakistan, previously slated to be played on October 15 has been preponed to October 14.
The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is slated to kick-start on October 15 with a meeting between last editions champions England and runners-up New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The final will be played at the same venue on November 19.
While the revised schedule has only affected two matches of the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue, Babar Azam’s Pakistan have seen three changes in their revised schedule.
