Tomorrow, the BCCI will meet with state associations to consider a modification in the schedule of the India-Pakistan match
As of the information provided, there is a possibility of a date change for the India-Pakistan match in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials, along with members of state associations, are set to have a meeting in the national capital on July 27 to discuss this matter.The current schedule has the India-Pakistan match scheduled for October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
However, there is a clash with the first day of the Navaratri festival on the same date, and the local police have expressed concerns about handling security on that day.Due to this clash, there are talks about preponing the India-Pakistan match to a different date, which could potentially impact the overall ODI World Cup schedule.
Currently, October 14 is a double-header day in the tournament, with England playing Afghanistan in a day match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, and New Zealand facing off against Bangladesh in a day-night game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India might thinking to change the date of the India-Pakistan match would have significant implications for fans and other major stakeholders who have already made arrangements, such as booking accommodation and flight tickets for the anticipated game in Ahmedabad.
