Wait for the ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule Intensifies
As the days pass, the anticipation for the ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule release is intensifying. According to the latest reports, the ICC is aiming to make the schedule public on 27th June, which is merely 100 days before the commencement of the World Cup on 5th October.
Tension Between the BCCI and the PCB
The delay in the release of the schedule has been a source of distress for fans as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have been at loggerheads. The PCB has yet to give its approval for the draft schedule that was sent by the ICC. Najam Sethi, the former interim Chairman, commented on the matter saying, “We have written to the ICC that we can’t give approval or disapproval to this [World Cup schedule]. It’s our government who has to decide, just like when it comes to India, it’s their government that decides when they go to play.”
PCB’s Stance on World Cup Schedule
The PCB have made it clear that it is the government that will decide when it comes to the World Cup Schedule. They have refused to give their approval or disapproval to the draft schedule.
Conclusion
The wait for the ICC World Cup 2023 Schedule continues as the PCB and the BCCI remain in disagreement. The PCB have made it known that they will not be giving their approval or disapproval of the draft schedule, and that it is the government that will make the final decision.
