BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that the venues that hosted the World Cup matches will skip their turn to host ODIs during the domestic season to make up for the state associations that have missed out on hosting the ICC tournament. The World Cup will be held in India from October 5 to November 19.

In a letter to the state associations, Shah wrote that his proposal has been unanimously accepted by the authorities of the World Cup hosting venues including Delhi, Dharamsala, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Lucknow. However, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram, which hosted only warm-up matches during the World Cup, will get a chance to host in the upcoming season.
Shah had earlier this week met the heads of state associations ahead of the announcement of the World Cup schedule.
Shah wrote, 'During our meeting, I had proposed a solution to ensure fair distribution of matches of the World Cup 2023. I had requested the host associations, except Assam and Kerala, which host warm-up matches, to voluntarily give up their turn to host ODIs during the bilateral international season. This proposal was put forward to accommodate the state associations who unfortunately missed out on hosting the matches of the Cricket World Cup.
