ODI World Cup 2023: In preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup, officials from the International Cricket Council (ICC) are set to visit Kolkata to conduct an inspection of the iconic Eden Gardens. This visit is part of the routine checkup process, as the ground is slated to host several marquee matches during the tournament. It’s worth noting that the ICC representatives have already completed their visit to Dharamshala and will be heading to Kolkata next.

Kolkata will play a significant role in the ODI World Cup, hosting the highly anticipated India versus South Africa match on November 5, as well as the second semi-final of the tournament. Additionally, the city will be the venue for matches involving Pakistan and Bangladesh. Reports suggest that the Snehasish Ganguly-led team is fully prepared to welcome the ICC representatives, having already made all the necessary arrangements for their visit.
In preparation for the influx of fans during the tournament, the authorities have been working on the stadium facilities. A new hospitality box has already been constructed, and efforts are underway to revamp the clubhouse. The stadium is anticipated to accommodate more than 60,000 fans for each game.

We are ready. ICC is coming to inspect us, more work is in progress. We also had talked with the police. They are also ready to give security every time. We are very confident.”
