ICC ODI World Cup 2027 Schedule Live Updates: ICC to shortly unveil World Cup 2027 schedule; India await their fixtures

ICC ODI World Cup 2027 Schedule Live Updates: The International Cricket Council (ICC) will unveil the schedule for the 2027 ODI World Cup in Cape Town on Thursday, October 1. The event will mark the one-year countdown to the tournament and will also see the release of tickets for the matches.

The World Cup will begin on October 2 next year and will conclude on November 21, 2027.

Ten of the 14 teams that will take part in the tournament have secured their places as of the September 30 qualification cut-off. Hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe have received automatic berths, while eight teams have qualified based on the ICC ODI rankings.

Namibia are also co-hosts, but they do not have an automatic qualification because they are not a full-member nation of the ICC.

India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, England, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will join South Africa and Zimbabwe in the tournament. The remaining four spots will be decided through the Qualifiers, which are scheduled to take place early next year.

Two-time champions West Indies will also have to go through the qualification route to secure a place in next year’s World Cup.
