ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 to kick off without opening ceremony

While the Captains’ Day event remains scheduled.

ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 to kick off without opening ceremony, it emerges on Tuesday.

As per the Indian media reports, the traditionally held opening ceremony for the grand cricketing event will not take place. Initially, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) intended to stage a lavish opening ceremony at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 4, one day prior to the tournament’s inaugural match at the same location.

However, there has been no formal declaration concerning the opening ceremony’s cancellation.

While the Captains’ Day event remains scheduled.

This will be the first time in many editions of the ODI World Cup that there will be no official opening ceremony held preceding the opening fixture.

Reports claim that the now-canceled opening ceremony was to feature Bollywood personalities including Ranveer Singh, Arijit Singh, Tamannaah Bhatia, Shreyas Ghoshal, and veteran singer Asha Bhosle.

The opening ceremony was also anticipated to showcase fireworks and a laser display to herald the commencement of the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.

The 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup will be the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, hosted by India, beginning on 5 October and concluding on 19 November 2023.
