The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, this year’s biggest carnival of cricket, started off in India on October 5, Thursday.
The tournament began with an England vs New Zealand match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 48 matches of the World Cup will be held across 10 venues across India, which is hosting the flagship tournament for the fourth time, and the first since Team India’s 2011 World Cup triumph. India will be playing their matches in Chennai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune, Dharamsala, Lucknow, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad is the only venue where India does not have a league match scheduled.
