The 2023 Cricket World Cup is scheduled to be held in India from October 5 to November 19, 2023. It will be the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, and the first to be hosted by India since 2011. Ten teams will participate in the tournament: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.
The teams will be divided into two groups of
