The 2023 Cricket World Cup (officially ICC Cricket World Cup 2023) will be the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by India, from 5 October to 19 November 2023. This will be the first time the competition is held completely in India (three previous editions were partially hosted there – 1987, 1996, and 2011).

Qualification

As with the previous edition, the tournament will feature ten teams. The main route to qualification will be the new ICC ODI League tournament, which replaces the ICC ODI Championship.

For the World Cup, the top seven sides plus the hosts (India) from the thirteen competitors in the League will qualify automatically. The remaining five teams, along with an undecided number of Associate sides, will play in the 2022 Cricket World Cup Qualifier from which two sides will go through to the final tournament.
