The 2019 ICC World Cup is set to be played in England and Wales and the schedule and tickets for the same were released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) a few months ago.

Cricket fans from all over the world did not waste any time and thus, the tickets for the marquee clashes like India vs Pakistan and 5 other matches have been sold out six months before the World Cup.
