The 2023 ODI World Cup in India is less than five months away, and enthusiastic Indian cricket fans are gearing up to witness the massive event. On the other hand, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) bears a significant amount of responsibility for making the event a success.
After 2011, India will host another edition of the ODI World Cup, and the BCCI will be expected to make this edition of the event bigger than the previous one. With the dispute between the board and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), there are also concerns about Pakistan’s participation in the competition.
