The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly requested the venues which will host the ICC World Cup 2023 matches to voluntarily forego their turn to host an ODI match in the next bilateral season so that the venues which missed out on World Cup matches can be compensated.

A total of 10 venues, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Pune, were picked to host the upcoming edition of the ODI World Cup in India. Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram will host the warm-up matches.

As per reports, BCCI has written a letter to state associations that will be hosting the 2023 ODI World Cup matches, asking them to voluntarily forgo their turn to host an ODI.

"During our meeting, I proposed a solution to ensure a fair distribution of matches for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. I requested the hosting associations, with the exception of Assam and Kerala, who were allocated warm-up matches, to voluntarily forego their turn to host an ODI during the bilateral international season.

This proposal was put forth to accommodate the state associations that unfortunately missed out on hosting matches of the Cricket World Cup. I am pleased to inform you that the proposal received unanimous agreement and support from all the participating associations," Shah said in the letter accessed by PTI.

Barring Hyderabad, all main venues will get to host five games each of the ICC 50-over showpiece. Hyderabad will host two warm-up games involving Pakistan before staging three main matches from October 6.

The World Cup kicks off on October 5 with New Zealand taking on defending champions England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
