Earlier this year in April, the BCCI had a huge ceremony to celebrate the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which had performances from several big Bollywood stars.<\/p>\n

And while organisers have not officially ruled out an opening ceremony on Thursday, The Times of India<\/em> quoted a source as saying there were never any plans to hold one for the 2023 World Cup. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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,\u201d said the source quoted by the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Some reports suggested the BCCI had earlier planned a star-studded opening ceremony in Ahmedabad on the eve of the World Cup, but that these plans were eventually abandoned.<\/p>\n

The ceremony, as per the reports, would have featured well-known Bollywood celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Arijit Singh, Tamannaah Bhatia, Shreya Ghoshal and Asha Bhosle.<\/p>\n

The star-studded event was planned to have begun after the Captains\u2019 Day event at the Narendra Modi Stadium and included fireworks and a laser show.<\/p>\n

The first game of the tournament \u2013 England vs New Zealand \u2013 is a repeat of the final of the last edition in 2019. England, then led by Eoin Morgan, defeated the Black Caps in the final on a boundary count to clinch their maiden 50-Over World Cup.<\/p>\n
