The 2023 ODI world cup is scheduled to be played in India. However, there was a lot of uncertainty regarding the dates of the tournament and also the ticketing information. This has displeased numerous fans because an event of that level should be properly planned.
Why was there so much uncertainty regarding the schedule?
ICC has released a new schedule for the 2023 ODI World Cup. The previous one was discarded because two of the games clashed with the religious festivities, Navratri and Kali Puja. Both of the games were of Pakistan, one against the hosts and one against England. Not only Pakistan vs. India is set to happen one day earlier, but eight other games are also rescheduled.
It was already delayed due to disagreements between BCCI and PCB. It’s a shame that it had to be once again revised, and all of the matters were not properly solved before revealing it the first time.
How will the new schedule affect the fans who wish to see the 2023 ODI World Cup?
While this causes concerns for the fans in several ways, it also is inconvenient for them to finalize their own schedule and buy tickets. The 2023 ODI World Cup is just two months away, yet the final schedule was just revealed yesterday, and so were the ticketing details. The process of media accreditation is yet to be started.
Who deserves to be blamed for the confusion?
The ODI World Cup is an event that every cricketing fan is excited about, which means they would like certainly and proper hype. However, what they are getting until now is just uncertainty, delays, and changes.
The 2023 ODI World Cup’s current state of disarray and confusion is a not-so-pleasing reflection of the lack of commitment and organizational capability. Fans, players, and stakeholders surely deserve better management and communication. BCCI is supposedly one of the richest boards, yet this kind of conduct puts a question mark on their professionalism and seriousness.
