World Cup 2023 Schedule Could See Major Revamp

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah recently revealed that the World Cup 2023 schedule could be completely revamped. With security concerns likely to affect the India vs Pakistan match, it could cause a domino effect on other games in the tournament. On Thursday, Shah reported that at least three boards had requested a change in dates.

India vs Pakistan Match Date Could Change

On Wednesday, reports suggested that the India vs Pakistan match could be rescheduled. This high-profile game was initially set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on October 15. However, this date coincides with the start of the Navratri festival, which could make security arrangements more difficult. Several security agencies in Ahmedabad have recommended that the BCCI alter the date to October 14.

Request for Short Gaps Between Matches

Some members have asked for shorter gaps between games, as well as a longer gap of six days before other matches. The BCCI is currently looking for ways to accommodate these requests within the existing tournament structure.
