The full schedule for the much-anticipated 2023 World Cup is set to be unveiled in Mumbai on Tuesday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) will announce the fixtures for the tournament, which is due to start in October.

The full schedule of the 2023 World Cup is announced today in Mumbai. Mumbai and Kolkata have been set as the venues for the semi-finals of the mega-event, which is set to kick off in October.

According to a recent media report, Pakistan is not prepared to host a World Cup match in Mumbai for security reasons. Pakistan has informed ICC officials of their reservations.

Should India qualify for the semi-finals, they will likely play their knockout game in Mumbai. In the event of a semi-final match between India and Pakistan, it will likely be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Pakistan would prefer to play their semi-final match in Kolkata if they qualify.

Both Wankhede and Eden Gardens have witnessed important World Cup matches in the past. Wankhede Stadium hosted the thrilling 2011 World Cup final, while Eden Gardens was the venue for the 1987 World Cup final. Now these two iconic stadiums will enrich their legacy by hosting the semi-finals of the 2023 World Cup.

If the Indian cricket team qualify for the semi-finals, their knockout match is likely to be played in Mumbai. In the event of a semi-final clash between India and Pakistan, the game is likely to be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Should Pakistan qualify for the semi-finals, they would prefer to play their game in Kolkata.

Earlier this month, Cricket Pakistan reported that the PCB had attempted to swap the venues for their matches against Afghanistan and Australia. Specifically, they requested that their game against Australia be moved to Chennai and their game against Afghanistan to Bengaluru.

The PCB's concern stemmed from the fact that the Chennai pitch is known to be prone to crackpots, which could pose a challenge for the Pakistan team in the game against Afghanistan. With Afghanistan having experienced slow bowlers, Pakistan had reservations about facing them in Chennai.

Despite these concerns, the BCCI stood firm and rejected the PCB's applications to the ICC.
