The Cricket World Cup 2023 is bubbling along nicely with a healthy blend of big performances, elite stars proving their credentials and immense shocks across India.

England have experienced a mixed bag of results so far and must up their game if they are to carry their title defence into the knockout phase.

Hosts India appear to be the team to beat during this tournament, though a perennially underrated New Zealand side also looks in good shape to contend deep into the competition.

England entered the tournament as reigning champions and remain among the favourites to go far under the guidance of captain Jos Buttler, though a shock defeat to Afghanistan knocked the wind out of their sails.

Eoin Morgan led the team to glory in 2019 following the one of the truly great sporting finals in history and the infamous super over that clinched the title “by the barest of margins”.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about the Cricket World Cup 2023 TV schedule, channel details and live stream information.
