India vs Pakistan ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Set to be Rescheduled
The highly-anticipated India vs Pakistan ICC ODI World Cup 2023 game, set to take place on October 15 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, is now likely to be rescheduled. This follows a request from security agencies to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to modify the schedule, due to the fact that the match is scheduled to take place on the first day of Navratri, a holiday celebrated with widespread participation at garba evenings throughout Gujarat.
Fans to Face Logistical Nightmare
The modification of the schedule will cause a logistical nightmare for fans who have already made travel arrangements for the game, as tickets for the match have been known to sell out in a matter of hours. Moreover, the India vs Pakistan game generally generates record-breaking TRPs for broadcasters.
BCCI Mulling Options
A top BCCI official, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Indian Express that the security agencies had advised against holding a high-profile match like India vs Pakistan because the crowds would be stretched thin due to Navratri. The official also stated that the BCCI is currently mulling over the options available and a decision will be taken soon.
