CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal) announcing World Cup 2023 ticket prices last night has provided a glimmer of hope to fans planning to watch matches in the remaining nine cities as well. Needless to say that both the announcement of fixtures and putting out information regarding tickets has happened (and happening) at a snail-like pace and in a lackadaisical manner.
