Schedule Tweaks for World Cup Games
It is evident that the India vs Pakistan game for the ICC World Cup will be moved ahead to October 14th. This has been done due to a few nations raising objections to the original schedule. As a result, there will be minor modifications to the existing timetable, which could lead to other matches being rescheduled.
Objections Raised by ICC Member Nations
Several ICC Full Member countries have voiced their concerns regarding the initial schedule. The teams that had a six-day gap will have their gap reduced, while teams with two-day gaps will have that increased. The logistics team of both BCCI and ICC are working on it. Jay Shah, the BCCI Secretary, informed the media that no venue will be changed, only the date and time of the games will be altered.
No Change in Venue
The venues for the games will remain the same, with only small alterations to the date and timings of some matches. According to News18 CricketNext, the England vs Afghanistan game could be rescheduled apart from the India vs Pakistan fixture.
Conclusion
The ICC World Cup has seen some changes to the schedule due to objections raised by certain nations. This could have a chain reaction, resulting in other games being rescheduled from the original timetable. However, no venues will be changed, only the dates and timings of some matches will be adjusted.
