As per latest reports in Cricbuzz, BCCI (Board of Control For Cricket In India) is likely to host the 2023 cricket World Cup. The same was decided in an ICC meeting in Dubai as they sat to decide on the next World Cup cycle. The body also decided on giving USA one of the upcoming ICC events in the future.
The USA and Cricket West Indies will jointly host the T20 World Cup in 2024 which will be 20-team and a 55 match event. The BCCI is likely to host the 2023 50-Over World Cup and one more ICC event if not two more.
During these meetings, the ICC may finally decide on the hosts of next cycle, a decision which is thought to be behind schedule given the fact that the ICC wants to go to the market with its media rights package in December.
