The International Cricket Council disclosed the official poster recently for the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, slated to take place in India. The poster featured 10 skippers including reigning winners, England posing with the trophy with Mumbai’s iconic backdrop. But then the crux is this is not the official captain's photo.

Seeing this fans were disappointed as rather than some awe-inspiring pictures of the captains, they witnessed a digitally edited composition. Social media went berserk with reactions. One of the fans wrote, "We went from getting the WC schedule 13 months in advance to getting last-minute changes in a schedule that got announced 2 months before. No theme song, no hype. The captains poster went from this to this. You can't name a bigger downgrade."

Another said, "Why are they all wearing the 2019 kits instead of the 23 ones in the 23 poster"?
