ICC's official schedule for 2023 ODI World Cup to be unveiled tomorrow

Cricket enthusiasts around the world can finally mark their calendars as the International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to unveil the schedule for the 2023 ODI World Cup on Tuesday, June 27.

After months of anticipation and discussions, the much-awaited announcement will take place in Mumbai, India.

The schedule for the mega-event has been a subject of speculation and debate, primarily due to the conflict between India and Pakistan.The delay in announcing the 2023 ODI World Cup schedule stemmed from Pakistan's initial refusal to play in India, in response to India's denial of visiting Pakistan for the Asia Cup.

Recent developments indicate that both parties have reached an agreement for a hybrid model proposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the Asia Cup. The model allows Pakistan to host four matches of the tournament, while the remaining nine matches will be played in India. 

Reports suggest that the official fixture list will not differ significantly from the earlier draft schedule shared by the BCCI. According to the draft, the fixtures are as follows:

1. India vs Australia, Oct 8 in Chennai

2. India vs Afghanistan, Oct 11 in Delhi

3. India vs Pakistan, Oct 15 in Ahmedabad

4. India vs Bangladesh, Oct 19 in Pune

5. India vs New Zealand, Oct 22 in Dharamsala

6. India vs England, Oct 29 in Lucknow

7. India vs Qualifier, Nov 2 in Mumbai

8. India vs South Africa, Nov 5 in Kolkata
