The 2023 ICC ODI World Cup is slated to start on October 5. Defending champions England will start their campaign on the opening day itself against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In the 2019 edition, England defeated New Zealand in what was one of the most dramatic World Cup finals.

In the 2023 World Cup edition, a total of 10 teams will participate and play their matches across ten venues- Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Dharamsala, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Lucknow. England will play in eight of these venues (they won’t play in Hyderabad and Chennai). In Ahmedabad, they will play twice.

England will be without two of their star players – former skipper Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes. Jos Buttler, who last year led the team to their second T20 World Cup title, will be leading this time.

England may experience difficulty playing on the Indian subcontinent. India played host to the ODI World Cup three times, in 1987, 1996, and 2011, but they co-hosted the event along with Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. In 1987, England reached the final, and 1996 and 2011, they reached the quarter-finals.
