The captains of all the participating nations followed the tradition of gathering together for the Captain’s Day ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. The Captain’s Day event was held in Ahmedabad on 14 October, just a day before the tournament commenced between England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium (popularly known as Motera Stadium) in Ahmedabad.

Temba Bavuma discussed the cons of playing the tournament in India since most of the players in the world have experience playing the famous cricket league, the IPL in India, however, most of the players in the current South African squad have not participated in the tournament which can be a disadvantage for the team. 

“It is something relevant to all the teams lot of the teams have guys who play in India and have done well in India I wouldn’t say it is an advantage for us all we can do is guys who have that experience and knowledge they can share it amongst teams or use it in terms of strength and plans I wouldn’t say it is an advantage unique to us as a team.”
