The hosting right of the 2023 ODI World Cup is with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). This is for the first time the Indian cricket board will be entirely hosting the quadrennial showpiece event and as things are going, it is not headed for a good finish. In fact, the start has been nothing short of abysmal. 

While the schedule for the previous two editions- 2015 and 2019 hosted by Australia and England was announced twelve months prior to the event, the 2023 ODI World Cup schedule is not out yet with less than 90 days left for the event. Although BCCI announced the schedule in June last week, there have been issues cropping up, and ICC and BCCI will be coming up with a revised schedule soon.
