[Saba Sports News]. The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) is leaving no stone unturned to make the upcoming ICC event a grand spectacle. The cityscape is adorned with vibrant posters and banners welcoming the World Cup, creating a cricketing atmosphere. Local radio stations are abuzz with ticket announcements, building excitement. The KCA has launched an enticing promotional campaign, showcasing Kerala’s rich traditions and culture.
Thiruvananthapuram, a charming city, is set to host four thrilling warm-up matches for the 2023 ODI World Cup, a historic moment for Kerala’s cricket. After a fiery ODI series in Rajkot against India, the Australian cricket team found a welcome respite in Kerala’s lush greenery and sea-facing hotels.
Upon arrival, some players enjoyed a leisurely ride in a hotel vehicle, with David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Marnus Labuschagne sharing the moment on Instagram.
As cricket enthusiasts gather at the Greenfield International Stadium, a colossal blue banner reading “It Takes One Day” greets them. The anticipation is palpable as the venue undergoes final preparations. Ground staff meticulously ensure the pitch is in top condition, and KCA officials work tirelessly on last-minute arrangements.
While tickets for India vs. The Netherlands on October 3 are sold out, response for other matches, starting with South Africa vs. Afghanistan, has been lukewarm.
Organizers remain hopeful that more fans will attend as the tournament progresses, despite occasional thunderstorms in Thiruvananthapuram over the past few weeks.
