Major Indian Cricket Centers Excluded from 2023 ODI World Cup
The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule for the 2023 ODI World Cup on March 14, 2022. The tournament will be held in India from October 5 to November 28, 2023.
Ten venues have been chosen to host the matches, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Dharamsala, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune. However, some major Indian cricket centers have been excluded from the tournament, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Nagpur.
Ahmedabad is the home of the Narendra Modi Stadium, which is the largest cricket stadium in the world. The stadium has hosted numerous high-profile matches, including the 2011 World Cup final. However, it will not host any matches in the 2023 World Cup.
Kolkata is another major cricket center in India. The city has hosted the World Cup final twice, in 1987 and 2003. However, it will not host any matches in the 2023 World Cup.
Nagpur is a relatively new cricket center in India. However, it has hosted several high-profile matches, including the 2011 World Cup semi-final. However, it will not host any matches in the 2023 World Cup.
The exclusion of these three major cricket centers has caused some controversy. Some people believe that the ICC and the BCCI should have included them in the tournament. Others believe that the decision was made based on commercial considerations.
Regardless of the reason for the decision, the exclusion of these three major cricket centers is a disappointment to many fans. It is also a missed opportunity for these cities to showcase their cricketing infrastructure to the world.
