ODI World Cup: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has begun laying out a structured roadmap for the 2027 ICC Men's ODI World Cup, with secretary Devajit Saikia stating that the board will ensure the national team gets adequate 50-over match practice ahead of the marquee event.

Speaking in Guwahati, Saikia said the BCCI is working on a clear path leading to the World Cup, set for October-November 2027. Selectors, support staff, and the head coach are all involved in this long-term planning process.

"The BCCI is planning a clear path leading up to the 2027 ODI World Cup. We will have enough ODI matches between now and the start of the tournament in October 2027. We have announced the team for the three ODI matches in England, scheduled from 14th to 19th July," Saikia said.

He added that the planning is happening in consultation with the team management and selectors to ensure that India is well prepared for the global event.

"The selectors are on board with the support staff and the head coach," he said.
