Dave Richardson, the CEO of International Cricket Council (ICC) said that India will be hosting the 2023 world cup and 2021 Champion trophy despite pending clearance in tax exemption Issue. There were doubts about India hosting world cup in 2023 because during 2016 T20 World cup, when ICC asked for tax exemption the Indian government did not provide exemption and this was followed by BCCI being told by ICC to pay more than 150 crores saying that if BCCI does not pay, it will lead to India losing hosting rights.
During an event sealing a 5 years contract with Coke, Dave Richardson said ICC is hopeful of India giving tax exemption and so there's no danger of India losing hosting rights. Meanwhile Richardson said "There is so much to look forward to. We have two T20 events (Women and Men) in Australia in 2020, followed by the first Test Championship final.
