The International Cricket Council has sent an inspection team to each of the venues that will be used for ODI World Cup this year (taking place in October and November).

The ICC squad, now stationed in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, has traveled to the South Indian cities of Bengaluru, Chennai, and Thiruvananthapuram, where warmup matches will be played, as well as Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

"They were here on Friday, and were satisfied by our preparations. We have been hosting matches from the Duleep Trophy at the venue, and we are ready for the (World Cup) games," a KSCA official told PTI.

On July 26, the stadium was assessed by the ICC team. “Yes, they were here and it was the routine pre-tournament visit checking on the venue preparation. They have given an all-clear for us, and we will be in touch with the ICC in the coming days as well," said a Tamil Nadu Cricket Association official.

On October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India will kick off their World Cup campaign against five-time champion Australia.
