Delay in Release of ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule
It has been no surprise that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have been in disagreement about the release of the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule. The PCB has asked for some late modifications, which has caused a delay in the schedule being published. Initially, it was planned that the schedule would come out after the World Test Championship Finals. However, now it looks like the schedule will be out next week.
The ICC sent a draft of the schedule to the BCCI and PCB, and asked for their feedback on the same. India had no issues with the draft, yet the PCB requested two major changes to their matchups, which has added to the postponement of the schedule.
BCCI’s Frustration with Delay
A senior BCCI official spoke to InsideSport.IN to express their frustration with the delay, saying: “Pakistan can say whatever they like, but the truth is that they are the ones responsible for the delay in announcing the schedule. First, they were not willing to play in Ahmedabad, and now they are refusing to play in Chennai. They are always insecure.”
Conclusion
The disagreement between the BCCI and PCB has caused a delay in the release of the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule. The ICC sent a draft of the schedule to both boards, and while India had no objections, the PCB asked for two major changes. The BCCI has expressed their frustration with the delay, claiming that it is due to Pakistan’s insecurity. It is expected that the schedule will be released next week.
