ODI World Cup 2023 Squads Last Date: What is the deadline for finalising squad?

ODI World Cup 2023 starts from 5 October and the final will be played on 19 November. Only Australia has announced their World Cup 2023 Squad so far.

The excitement is palpable as the countdown begins for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place in India from October 5 to November 19. With 48 matches featuring 10 top-notch teams, cricket enthusiasts around the world are eagerly anticipating this grand sporting event. As the tournament edges closer, teams are diligently working to finalize their squads for a shot at cricketing glory.

ODI World Cup 2023 Squads Last Date

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a pivotal date for all participating teams: September 28. By this deadline, every team must lock in their 15-member squads that will represent them on the global stage. This carefully curated roster will carry the hopes and dreams of nations, aiming to secure the prestigious ICC World Cup title. It’s worth noting that any subsequent replacements post this date will necessitate the approval of the ICC, adding an extra layer of scrutiny to squad modifications.

While the official ICC announcement mentions September 28 as the squad submission date, there have been reports suggesting a preliminary submission deadline of September 5. This earlier date could pertain to the initial World Cup 2023 squad submission, implying that teams might declare a larger pool of players from which the final 15 will be selected. However, the September 28 deadline remains the final cut-off for crystallizing the ultimate squad.
