Your guide to when the Cricket World Cup 2023 will go ahead, including an initial schedule for the tournament.
The Cricket World Cup is approaching. T20 may have dominated the last couple of years, but ODIs are coming back into bloom.
England’s last-ditch dramatic triumph in the Men’s 2019 World Cup final seemed to light the touchpaper on wider interest in the short form of the great game.
Since then, Eoin Morgan has departed as captain, to be replaced by Jos Buttler, and the white-ball team went on to become T20 champions of the world.
Two back-to-back years featuring T20 World Cup tournaments may have pushed ODIs into the shade somewhat, but the appetite for 50-over cricket will come roaring back by the time the tournament rolls around

When is the Cricket World Cup 2023?
The Cricket World Cup 2023 is expected to begin on Tuesday 10th October 2023 and run until the final on Sunday 26th November 2023.
It was initially expected to take place between February and March 2023 but officials announced in July 2020 that it would be pushed back due to COVID restrictions wreaking havoc with the qualification process.
