India’s World Cup 2023 Practice Jersey: As per the ICC Men’s Cricket ODI World Cup 2023 schedule, England and New Zealand will play the first match of the tournament on October 5 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. A total of 48 matches will be played between 10 participating teams across 10 venues in different cities across India.
It will be the first time the competition is held entirely in India; three previous editions were partially hosted there – 1987, 1996, and 2011. As of the previous edition, the 2023 edition will also follow the same format where each participating team will play the other nine teams once in the group stage where a total of 45 group matches will be played.
The top 4 teams of the ICC ODI World Cup points table will enter the knockout stage to play semifinal 1 and semifinal 2.
The first game of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 will be played between the 2019 World Cup finalists – England and New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Indian players were seen in their new practice jerseys while they travelling. India will play their first match of the tournament against Australia on October 8 in Chidambaram, Chennai.
Earlier, BCCI launched their World Cup 2023 jersey through a video anthem created for the Indian team for the 2023 World Cup. The anthem, named “3 ka dream”, signifies the spirit of how India will be aiming for their third men’s ODI World Cup trophy.
The colour of the iconic three stripes of Adidas has been changed from white to tricolour, representing the three colours on the Indian national flag: saffron, white, and green.
The other major change has been the number of stars on the chest, just above the BCCI emblem. For bilateral matches, three stars are sported signifying the three World Cup trophies India has won – two ODI World Cups and one T20 World Cup.
For the 2023 World Cup, however, the star count has reduced from three to two signifying the two ODI World Cup trophies India has previously won.
1983 ignited the spark.
2011 brought in glory.
