According to the The Other Side, a source familiar with the matter had confirmed that an opening ceremony was never planned for the World Cup.
The report quoted the source saying: “In the case of the Indian Premier League, you can have a short opening ceremony as the match starts in the evening but here the match starts in the afternoon”.
