The much-awaited ODI World Cup 2023 is scheduled to kick off in October. The first match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, where the two finalists from the last edition, England and New Zealand will lock horns against each other. The venues for the knockout games and semi-final have been announced. The final is set to be hosted by Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
The Men in Blue’s opening game of the mega event will be against Australia at MA. Chidambaram, in Chennai on October 8. One of the biggest fixtures of the tournament will be played between India and Pakistan. Earlier, the game was set to be played on October 15, but now the game has been preponed to October 14 due to the auspicious festival of Navratri.
This is true in every field: Venkatesh Prasad
Former India seamer, Venkatesh Prasad opined that the Indian Cricket Board could have handled the scheduling and ticketing process for the upcoming mega event in a better manner. He criticized the management when he took to his social media handle on Saturday, September 9. “It takes one corrupt, arrogant guy to take away the hard work of an organization that is generally non-corrupt and gets a stamp of corruption on the whole leadership, not just on a micro level but at a large level.”
On Sunday, September 10, the 54-year-old added one more tweet stating, “It takes one corrupt, arrogant guy to take away the hardwork of an otherwise non-corrupt organisation and spoil the reputation of an entire organization & the impact isn’t just micro but at a macro level. This is true in every field, be it politics, sports, journalism, corporate.”
