The ICC says the official ticket ballot for the 2027 Cricket World Cup has received more than 15 million applications in the first 12 days since it opened. Multiple outlets report the figure as roughly 1.5 crore applications, indicating strong early demand.
According to the ICC, applications have come from 142 countries. The tournaments is scheduled to be hosted across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, and the ticket ballot is running ahead of the competition. Coverage emphasizes the scale of interest from a wide range of countries, with the main differences across outlets largely in how they express the same totals (e.g., “15 million” versus “1.5 crore”) and how they frame the news (headline focus on volume versus broader context about international reach and host locations).
