Amidst all the speculations and assumptions from the fans and the media on the schedule of the ODI World Cup 2023, Chief Executive of cricket's governing body Geoff Allardice had also talked about the same/
"I think even today (Wednesday) we might be receiving the schedule from the hosts, and we've just got a bit of consultation to do with all the participating teams and the broadcasters. Then we'll be publishing that as soon as we possibly can. When we put on events, we very much work hand in hand with the hosts,” said Allardice in an interview with BBC’s Test Match Special.
"And in some places, there's a lot of consultation that needs to take place, both within the cricket system and with governments, etc. There's a lot of responsibility on a host to deliver a good event, and they've got to go through the right checks and balances,” he added later.
