The stadiums that will have the opportunity to host this great event this time have been announced along with the release for the ODI World Cup 2023 schedule. For a major event like the World Cup, the Indian Cricket Board has picked a total of 10 stadiums, in addition to the two stadiums which will host the warm-up games for the 10 nations.

The Indian Cricket Board is going to grant each of these 10 venues Rs 50 crore in order to upgrade their infrastructure. However, the Mohali Stadium in Punjab has not been a part of this massive event thanks to Jay Shah as well as the Indian Cricket Board. The Punjab Cricket Association additionally started a counterattack on the board and responded forcefully.

Over invoicing should be checked, funds allocated should be verified by an Independent BCCI committee,washrooms, drinking water spectator comfort, pitch & outfeild equipment should be upgraded

Hopefully , they leave only two bare patches for the pitches at maximum. The ground should be lush green otherwise. Leaving 4 or 5 pitches in the centre makes ground look ugly.
