After the announcement of the Indian squad for the ICC ODI CWC 2023, which is scheduled to be hosted by India entirely, cricket lovers in India are eager to see their team fighting for the ICC trophy. ICC ODI CWC will kick off from 5th October with the face-off of the last World cup finalists England and New Zealand and recently BCCI’s secretary Jay Shah with a gesture of honour presented Amitabh Bachchan with a “Golden Ticket” for the upcoming CWC 2023, BCCI posting a picture of Amitabh Bacchan with BCCI secretary Jay Shah informed the cricket fans about the “Golden Ticket” which is not a regular ticket of the cricket matches.

What is this Golden Ticket?

The “Golden Ticket” is a VIP pass to experience the live action of the ICC CWC 2023 matches from the VIP box and that includes all kinds of amenities available to the VIPs during the match. There is no hiding the superstar’s love for cricket as he could be seen waving the Indian flag now and then during India’s match in the stadium presenting such a great supporter with a Golden Ticket is a good move to promote the sport more and inviting fans to watch the match live from the venues.

This the post from the BCCI.

Golden ticket for our golden icons!
