India to host Street Child Cricket World Cup in 2023

India is the host nation for the Street Child Cricket World Cup 2023 (SCCWC 2023), a mixed gender cricket tournament for street-connected children and young people worldwide. Organised by Street Child United and Save the Children India, the Street Child Cricket World Cup 2023 will welcome 22 teams from 16 countries to India next year.

The Tournament will be organised by Save the Children India (Bal Raksha Bharat) and Street Child United in September 2023. SCCWC 2023 will be the second edition of the tournament.

The inaugural edition was held in London/Cambridge in 2019, in which eight teams took part and Team India South emerged victorious after beating hosts England. SCCWC is a global platform that gives street children an opportunity to connect, share their experiences and present their demand of human rights to the world.
