Why is there no opening ceremony for the ODI World Cup 2023?  Well, there is no official word on this regard either from the BCCI or ICC, but according to a report in the Times of India, an opening ceremony for the ODI World Cup 2023 was never planned. "There was never an opening ceremony planned for the World Cup. I can confirm that," a source was quoted as saying by TOI. "In the case of the IPL, you can have a short opening ceremony, as the match starts in the evening. Here, the match starts in the afternoon," explained the source.
