Typically, such grand tournaments commence with glitzy and vibrant opening ceremonies, often featuring Bollywood and South Indian film celebrities.

Early reports indicated that luminaries like Asha Bhosle, Ranveer Singh, Tamannah Bhatia, Shreya Ghoshal, Shankar Mahadevan, and Arijit Singh would grace the occasion with their performances.

In contrast to the previous expectations, the BCCI has reportedly scrapped the grand opening ceremony. Instead, a captains’ meet has been planned for Wednesday, followed by a laser show, as per Dainik Jagaran reports.

The captains’ meeting is slated for 7 pm today, but the absence of official confirmation has left fans wondering. Both the ICC and the BCCI have yet to issue a formal statement regarding the status of the opening ceremony.
