‘Bhai sahab koi discounts milega kya?’ – Fans abuzz as updates on ODI World Cup 2023 ticket sales surface

The ODI World Cup 2023 will be played in India between October 5 and November 19. As such, the Apex Cricket Council recently announced the details of ticket sales. The global cricketing body announced that the tickets for the tournament will go on sale from August 25.

The announcement on Ticket sales comes after the rescheduling of nine games. The primary among them being the marquee clash between India and Pakistan originally scheduled for 15 October. It has been preponed to October 14 on account of the Hindu festival of ‘Navratri’. However, there were no changes made to the venue for the game with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad still on course to host the game.
