The past three years haven't been considerate for 50-over cricket fans. With a number of T20I competitions going on around the world, which include the T20 World Cups and the T20 leagues, it seemed that the ODIs had lost their charm. While it's true that the One Day Internationals (ODIs) saw a significant drop in popularity, they're back on track as the ICC World Cup 2023 approaches. This article will take you through the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule, team, timetable, squad, venue, matches, points table, and all the other details.



The 2023 ICC World Cup will be the 13th edition of the marquee 50-over tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Although England is the reigning champions and will defend their crown of ODI champions, Australia has been a dominating force in the ODI World Cups with five titles in their dressing room.



England won the last edition of the ICC World Cup, which was held in England in 2019, by defeating New Zealand in a controversial super-over after the match was tied. Interestingly, England and New Zealand also matched their super-over scores, and eventually, on the basis of the overall boundary count, the former team was declared the winner. England had scored 26 boundaries while New Zealand had scored 17.



Let's take a deep dive at the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule, team, timetable, squads, venue, matches, points table, and much more.

Sourav Ganguly's special message for Rohit Sharma, Dravid to win ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India: Team India has been amidst criticism for playing underwhelming cricket in the marquee ICC tournaments. It's always been a concern for the fans and experts that a team which dominates every opponent in bilateral cricket, somehow fails to make it big in the multi-nation tournaments. India's last World Cup title victory came a decade ago and now it's a perfect time for the Men in Blue to retain the crown in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.



Sourav Ganguly, former BCCI President, has advised Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid to pick the current squad till the ODI World Cup 2023, which will be hosted in India later in October-November.



"India can never be a weak team. A country that has so much talent can never be a weak team. Half of the players don't even get a chance. I would want Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma and the selectors to hold on to the same team till the World Cup," Ganguly told Sports Tak.



The former Indian captain added that the Men in Blues should play fearless cricket without any external pressure or baggage on their shoulders.



"When they reach the World Cup, they should play without any baggage. They should play fearless cricket, it doesn't matter if they win the trophy or not," the former BCCI president said.



"The team which has Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami... Ravindra Jadeja will come back... can never be bad," he added.



Ganguly, who will join IPL franchise Delhi Capitals as the Director of Cricket, starting IPL 2023, said he is looking forward to joining the franchise in a new capacity.



"It's just one role from another and I am looking forward to it. When I first joined hands with Delhi Capitals in 2019, the team has done pretty well since then. We will feel the void of Rishabh Pant. He is a top Indian cricketer but he is injured, we can't do much about it," Ganguly said.



Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant met with an accident and suffered multiple injuries which will keep him away from cricket for at least five to six weeks. The wicketkeeper batter is discharged from hospital and has headed to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for his further rehabilitation program.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Jos Buttler-led England jumped to the third position in the latest updated ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table with a comforting victory against South Africa at Dimond Oval in Kimberley. The Englishmen registered a 59-run victory over the Proteas to end their South Africa tour 2023 on a high.



Owing to the victory in the third ODI, England climbed up to the third place in the points table with 135 rating points from 21 matches, of which they managed to win 13 while on seven games they ended up being on the losing side and a solitary fixture resulted without getting a result.



The reigning ODI World champions have already qualified for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup, which will be held in India in October-November. 



Notably, the top eight teams in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table get direct entry to the 50-over world cup owing to their fantastic ODI record. So far, seven teams have qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 which include, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh Afghanistan, England and India. 



Team India being the host of the tournament gets automatic qualification to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. However, India stand's in the second position in the points table, which automatically confirms India's place.

<h2>How can South Africa make it to the top 8?</h2>

Meanwhile, South Africa is having a tough time making it to the top eight of the table. Currently, they are placed in the ninth position with 79 rating points in 19 matches. To earn a direct qualification, the Proteas will have to somehow get a seat in the top eight of the points table.



Interestingly, South Africa forfeit a three-match ODI series against Australia in order to launch their home T20 league called SA20. The Australia series would have eased their pathway for the 50-over World Cup 2023 in India, however, they will now have to win all their remaining ODI series plus will hope for a couple of other fixtures to go their way.



The rainbow nation will have to win their last ODI series against the Netherlands. Also, they will hope that New Zealand doesn't suffer a comprehensive hammering against Sri Lanka by 0-3, which will eventually push them to eighth place in the <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup-super-league/standings">points table</a>.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table [Updated] after SA vs ENG ODI series 2023

icc-cricket-world-cup-2023-super-league-points-table-updated-after-sa-vs-eng-odi-series-2023

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has once again threatened the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pull out of the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in the aftermath of the decision taken by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to relocate the venues of the Asia Cup 2023. 



In the meeting held yesterday among the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) office bearers, it was concluded that a neutral venue will be announced for the Asia Cup 2023, which will be held in the 50-over format this year. The new venue for the Asia Cup 2023, which most likely will be UAE, will be finalised in the month of March.



The sources who have their ear close to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirm that the cricket board isn't pleased with the decision of the ACC to relocate the tournament.



"PCB isn't happy with this thinking that Asia cup could be relocated to some neutral venue, name of UAE is on top of the list which might get the hosting but if it happens then Pakistan will not travel to India for ICC World Cup 2023," said the source.



The last edition of the Asia Cup, which was held in 2022 in the T20 format, was held in the UAE and the chances of UAE hosting it again are very high. Meanwhile, Qatar has also shown its keenness to host the continental tournament after having hosted a couple of franchise-based cricketing tournaments in the recent past.



Earlier, Jay Shah, chief of the ACC, has already made it clear that the Indian men won't travel to Pakistan for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 due to security reasons and prevailing political tensions between the two nations. 



Shah, who also holds the position of secretary in the BCCI, also confirmed that the new venue of the Asia Cup 2023 will be announced after the second round of the Executive board meeting of ACC members in March.



"The ACC affiliates met today and there were a lot of constructive discussions. But the shift of venue has been postponed till March. But be rest assured that with India not going to Pakistan, the tournament will have to be shifted. A tournament without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill will have the sponsors back out," a BCCI source told the news agency PTI following the meeting among the ACC officials in Bahrain.



It's important to note that this is not the first time the PCB has intimidated the BCCI to boycott the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which will be held in India, if they are prevented from hosting the Asia Cup 2023. Ramiz Raja, the former PCB chairman, during his tenure explicitly said that his team won't visit India if they are denied the opportunity to stage the Asian tournament in 2023.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs Australia three-match ODI series is slated to begin on March 17 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The two sides will then head to Vishakhapatnam and Chennai for the other two ODI games. Although the IND vs AUS ODI series won't add any value to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table, it would help the two participating sides gear up for the marquee event which will be held later this year.



England topped the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table after bashing Bangladesh in the second ODI in Dhaka. After being asked to bat first, England batters racked up 326 runs in 50 overs, thanks to Jason Roy's fine century and valiant contributions from skipper Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali and Sam Curran.



In pursuit of 326 runs total, Bangladesh was rocked earlier on in their innings by pacer Sam Curran who scalped three wickets in his first spell. Later on in the game, Adil Rashid joined Curran's way to dismiss the Bangladeshi middle and lower order. Eventually, owing to Curran and Rashid's four wickets each, England were able to bundle out Bangladesh at 194 runs and won the contest by 132 runs.



The win in the second ODI also ensured the series win for England, after having won the opening game as well by three wickets. England will now look to clean-sweep Bangladesh on their soil to wrap up the three-match ODI series.



England was rewarded with 20 points owing to the two victories against Bangladesh and now has 155 rating points in 23 games so far. They are placed atop the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table and are followed by New Zealand with 150 rating points from 21 games.



The third place in the ranking is taken up by India with 139 points from 21 matches. Meanwhile, Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh sit in 4th, 5th and 6th place respectively.



Interestingly, seven teams have already qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 owing to their good ranking in the points table, which include - England, New Zealand, India (host), Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.



It's important to note that the top eight teams of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table will get direct entry to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. While seven teams are already confirmed, one team from West Indies, South Africa or Sri Lanka will get direct entry.



The remaining teams will have to take part in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers along with the five associate nations. The two top teams of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers will get to feature in the World Cup 2023, which will be held in India in October.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table [Updated] ahead of IND vs AUS ODIs

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Winner Predicted by Wasim Akram: Pakistan's former fast bowler and captain Wasim Akram ranks Pakistan atop against all other teams in the world to lift the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India owing to its fast bowling lineup. Akram reckons Babar Azam-led Pakistan is a strong contender to win the marquee ICC tournament slated to be held in the month of October-November, later this year.



Talking to Sports Tak, Wasim Akram said Pakistan's fast bowling unit is currently second to none in world cricket and possesses the quality to lift the coveted trophy.



?Our captain is a great player and we have one of the best fast-bowling lineups in the world,? Akram said on Sports Tak.



He cited how lethal Shaheen Shah Afridi can be, who has recently led his Pakistan Super League (PSL) team to tournament victory. Besides Afridi, the likes of Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf make Pakistan's fast bowling unit special.



?Shaheen Afridi is currently in prime form. He has led his team to victory in the PSL for the second time. He is developing pretty well as an all-rounder. Then there is Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. (Mohammad) Hasnain is there, Ihsanullah is an exciting young fast bowler," he added.



The cricketer-turned-commentator added that because the nature of pitches in India is largely batter's friendly, team with a formidable bowlers will eventually succeed in making it through.



?I think because the World Cup is happening in India, it is the team with the stronger bowling attack that will succeed because the pitches tend to be batter friendly,? he said.



<h2>In-swinging deliveries have troubled Indian batters: Wasim Akram</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Winner Predicted by Wasim Akram" class="wp-image-104913" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mitchell Starc picked five wickets against India in 2nd ODI | Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Akram then went on to address the Indian batter's shortcoming to tackle the in-swinging deliveries. He said although the angling deliveries have troubled the Indians, they would find a way to pass the problem.



?It is the angle that makes it difficult and especially when ball the comes in," he said. "At the same time, India have some great top-order player. Be it,?Virat Kohli, be it,?Rohit Sharma and?KL Rahul, all of them are greats of the game and they will figure out the problems.?



Notably, the Indian top order faced a similar challenge against Mitchell Starc in the recently held 2nd ODI between IND and AUS. Starc wreaked havoc with his moving deliveries and dismissed the Indian top order in his first spell.



In fact, Starc went on to scalp his career's ninth ODI five-wicket haul during the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI. Lauding the pacer's abilities, Akram said: ?Let?s give credit to Mitchell Starc. He bowled brilliantly and the pitch was also very lively. And the way the ball was seaming around at one point I thought I am seeing a match in Australia or New Zealand."

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Winner Predicted by Wasim Akram

Jasprit Bumrah is critical for India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign - Aaron Finch: Former Australian white-ball captain, Aaron Finch believes team India will need the services of lead paceman Jasprit Bumrah in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. He reckons Jasprit Bumrah provides a genuine wicket-taking option to the Indian team.



Notably, team India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah hasn't played cricket since last September. The speedster has struggled to recover from his back injury and has recently undergone surgery in New Zealand. 



He is already ruled out of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 and the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final in Oval, London. However, there is a good chance of him returning for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which will be held in India in October-November.



Finch, speaking with the Times of India, said that Bumrah's absence will lead to a hole in the Indian lineup as the pacer possesses a cunning ability to take crucial wickets.



"I think getting Jasprit Bumrah back is vital for India. He is the best in the world when he is up and running. So, if he is not available, that will probably lead to a hole in the innings in terms of wicket-taking ability because he is so dangerous," said Aaron Finch.



However, he emphasised that the Indian side doesn't have a lot of issues in its playing unit and everything boils down to the execution on a particular day.



"But if the Indian opening combination, gets a good platform, then the rest of the team can be aggressive. There is power in the middle order with Hardik and Sky being there. There are not many weaknesses in the Indian team. They have got great spin options and very good fast bowlers. What will come down to in the World Cup will be execution on a particular day - a spell from a particular bowler or an innings from a batsman," he added.



It's important to note that India lost the last 50-over world cup after reaching the semi-finals in England. In fact, India has successfully reached knockouts more often than not in the ICC events but has struggled to move past it. The forthcoming ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in India and it gives a huge opportunity to the Indian team to overcome its shortcoming and win an ICC tournament after a decade in front of its home crowd.

Jasprit Bumrah is critical for India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign - Aaron Finch

ICC ODI World Cup 2023 - Pakistan won't travel to India, wants its games to be held in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed its desire to not travel to India and play its ICC ODI World Cup 2023 matches in either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh, if team India doesn't visit Pakistan for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is scheduled to be held in India, later this year.



Some media reports quoted, Wasim Khan, ICC GM and ex-CEO of PCB, as saying that Pakistan's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 matches will be held in a neutral venue.



Notably, the development came after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held a meeting to adopt a hybrid model to host the Asia Cup 2023, which is originally slated to be held in Pakistan. The hybrid model allows Pakistan to host the Asia Cup 2023 on its own soil in the first part of September, but India's matches will be held in a neutral venue. 



Interestingly, if India and Pakistan, both reach the final, the summit clash of the Asia Cup 2023 would be held outside Pakistan, in a neutral venue.



Further reports say that the PCB will adopt the same model for the upcoming marquee ICC event which will be held in October-November in India.



"Yes, we are thinking that we will not travel to India for World Cup matches if BCCI didn't send their team to Pakistan for Asia Cup. We want Sri Lanka or Bangladesh to host our matches, we want to play there not in India," said a PCB source to ANI.



However, ICC has distanced itself from such claims. The ICC official said that the preparations for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 are undergoing full swing in India.



?As far as we are concerned, everything is full speed for a full event in India later this year," an ICC official said.



While India's apex cricket body is ready to negotiate Asia Cup 2023 to be held in Pakistan and just India matches to move out, it is not in any mood to move an inch for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.



Notably, this will be the first instance when India has received full authority to host a complete ICC ODI World Cup. The 2011 World Cup was hosted jointly by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.



This year's World Cup will be held in a similar fashion as it was held in England back in 2019. All 10 teams played against each other once before the knockouts, which means nine games per team during the group stage.



The complete schedule for ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is yet to be revealed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is expected to be out in a couple of weeks from here.

Before the commencement of the Champions Trophy, the Indian team will be participating in a bilateral white ball series event versus England, where both the Fierce-Rivals will be locking horns versus each other in five T20 International contests and three One-Day Matches. 
The three ODI's will be really important as they will act as a preparatory ground for the Men in Blue ahead of the Champions Trophy. The five-match T20 International series versus the Three Lions kicks off from the 22nd of January and the squad for that series has already been announced, but the ODI series squad is yet to be announced. It's anticipated that the BCCI will simultaneously announce the Indian Team squad for the ODI Series and the Champions Trophy 2025.
A press conference will take place after the conclusion of the meeting of the selectors and this conference will take place at 12:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) in the afternoon. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector will be taking part in this conference.
<h2>Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in the months of February &amp; March</h2>
It's worth noting that the 2025 Champions Trophy will commence from the 19th of February, while the all-important Final will be played on the 9th of March. Pakistan are the hosts of the tournament but the Indian Cricket Team will be playing all of their matches in the city of Dubai, UAE.

The legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to take part in the 18 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Indian fans will once again get the opportunity to witness him play in the Yellow jersey once again. 
He got retained by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a price tag of 4 crore Indian Rupees and fans cannot wait to see him play in the IPL again. 
While he had a good IPL 2024, managing to score 161 runs in 14 games at a really good average of 53.67 at a monstrous strike-rate of 220.55, his exploits weren't enough to help the Chennai based team lift the IPL trophy for a record 6th time. 
Many also believe that the upcoming edition of the IPL is going to be the final season of MSD and it will indeed be a really emotional moment for Cricket fans across the globe. 
Ahead of IPL 2025, the 43-year-old is close to creating history as he has a chance of breaking three magnificent records in the 18th season of the tournament. Let's take a look at them
<h2>Chance to become the oldest player to score a half-century in the IPL</h2>
MSD is currently 43-years-old. To be precise, 43 years and 194 days old. If the former CSK skipper slams a fifty in the upcoming season of the IPL, then he will become the oldest player ever to slam a fifty in the history of the tournament. 
The legendary Adam Gilchristun who played an amazing beaten knock of 85* runs versus the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2013 currently holds the record of being the oldest player ever in the tournament's history to score a fifty. 
Dhoni is at the 2nd position in this list, having slammed a fifty at the age of 40 years and 262 days old versus the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022.
<h2>Chance of becoming the highest run getter for CSK in the IPL</h2>
Dhoni is on the verge of becoming the highest run getter for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the history of the IPL. Currently, Suresh Raina holds that record, having amassed a total of 4,687 runs for the franchise. MSD though needs just 18 runs to break this record. It's worth noting that the former skipper of the franchise had already managed to score 4,669 runs for the Yellow Army. 
<h2>Dhoni has a chance to become the only player to effect 200 dismissals as a wicketkeeper in the IPL</h2>
The Legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni so far in IPL career has effected 190 dismissals as a wicketkeeper. He is at top of the list of the wicketkeepers to have effected the highest number of dismissals in the history of the competition. If he manages to dismiss 10 batters from behind the stumps, he will become the first player to achieve this feat in the IPL. Currently, among the wicketkeepers playing in the IPL, Rishabh Pant has dismissed 90 batters from behind the stumps. Thus, if Dhoni dismisses 10 more batters from behind the stumps, he will likely be the only wicketkeeper to achieve this feat.

Matheesha Pathirana, a key bowler for five times IPL winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Sri Lankan Cricket team, has been struggling to perform well in recent times and he has given away a lot runs off his bowling. 
Currently representing the team of Joburg Super Kings (JSK) in the SA 20, he recently bowled three overs versus the Durban Super Giants (DSG) and in those three overs, the Pacer gave away 34 runs at economy 11.33 ,including seven wide balls. Though he picked up a wicket, he still didn't bowl according to his standards and proved to be really expensive. 
The 22-year-old has taken part in two SA 20 encounters so far and in those two games, he has picked up just a single wicket and has given away runs at an astonishingly high economy rate of 10.71.
Not only this, in the recently concluded three-match T20 International series between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, Pathirana managed to dismiss just two batters and gave away runs at an average of 12 runs per over. 
<h2>What's the reason behind his poor form with the ball?</h2>
The Young seamer's boiling action is similar to the legendary Lasith Malinga. While releasing the ball, his hand action is slightly lower than that of Malinga. In this case, due to the slingy action, the youngester had developed a muscle strain in his bowling hand last year and once he recovered from this issue, he changed his bowling action slightly. 
The change which he has made is in the throwing position which is now higher than Malinga's throwing position. This slight change is causing issues for him and batsman are taking full advantage of this.
Due to this change in his bowling action, the 22-year-old is constantly changing his line and length. Since the threat of an injury looks at any time if he bowls using his old action, he has no other choice but to bowl in a different way. Therefore, it's believed that the Sri Lankan seamer won't be able to create any kind of impact with the ball in the upcoming IPL 2025 season.
<h2>Do CSK have any potential replacements for Pathirana? </h2>
Nathan Ellis is the replacement for Pathirana. This Australian pacer has been in tremendous bowling form off late and inn particular, his ability to bowl slow balls in an accurrate way is troubling the Big Bash batters. Therefore, it is believed that if Pathirana is injured at the beginning of the 18th season, Ellis will play as a replacement.

West Indies tour for Pakistan for two match test series . And this series is the part of ICC World Test Championship (WTC), Although the finalists of WTC have already been decided,South Africa And Australia where in final ,that will play in June 2025.
Pakistan national cricket team vs West Indies national cricket team 1st Test 2025 takes place at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. The Day 1 of PAK vs WI 1st Test 2025 has begun at 10:00 AM IST (Indian Standard Time) on January 17. 
MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) — Spin-heavy Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat in the first test against the West Indies on Friday.


Lineups:

Pakistan: Shan Masood (captain), Mohammad Hurraira, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Khurram Shahzad.

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Mikyle Louis, Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Kevin Sinclair, Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, Gudakesh Motie, Jomel Warrican, Jayden Seales.


An entertaining start to the match. On a rank-turner, Pakistan lost three wickets to seamer, Jayden Seales who was just superb in his spell. He pushed hard to bowl a length spell and got three big wickets. West Indies applied spin from other end, Gudakesh Motie bowled throughout the session but he was not at his best. There is a lot of turn on this pitch and if Gudakesh Motie gets his rhythm, he could be a dangerous customer for Pakistan who after losing four wickets, got a much needed partnership in Shakeel and Rizwan. The duo did well to end the session without losing any more wickets and will hope to do the same in the final session.
The day ends with 86/4 pakistan ,with Mohammad Rizwan 18(46)* and Saud Shakeel 33(52)* on the crease.
