ICC set to announce the official schedule of World Cup 2023

The ICC recently sent out a media invitation informing about the happening of an event next week in Mumbai. The event will be hosted by ICC on June 27, 2023, and It has been clearly mentioned in the invite that the event at Astor Ballroom of St Regis Hotel in Mumbai will disseminate a "key announcement". While nothing could be drawn at this moment but as schedule is a pressing subject, thus, ICC might address the elephant in the room, and state when the teams will take on each other.

Moreover, if the schedule gets the light of the day then it is pretty likely that the venues of the matches will also be brought forward. Pakistan have registered a request to change the venues of their matches against Australia and Afghanistan, so a decision on that might arrive as well even though BCCI and ICC have already stated to have rejected any such request. The formidable India vs Pakistan match is expected to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, and speculations of the final to be taking place at the same venue are prevalent. Hence, clarity is set to prevail.
