ICC World Cup 2023, which will commence on October 5 and end on November 19 in India, 10 nations would be seen battling for the ICC title, and recently the schedule of the World Cup was released by the ICC. Since then, Pakistan has been pushing India to change the venues of the Pakistan and India clash as the arch rivals are scheduled to face off on October 15, 2023. After a meeting on Thursday with 10 nations members, the BCCI secretary revealed that there are some changes that they will make to the ICC events after three ICC members requested them to do so. The venues would remain the same as scheduled, but the dates would change as some teams are getting fewer gaps in the matches scheduled.
The arch rivals India and Pakistan, according to the currently released World Cup schedule, would face each other on October 15 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, but as per speculation, the date would get changed, keeping the venue the same so that fans do not have to change their entire plan. The reason behind changing the date of the clash is cited to be the Navratri festival, which is celebrated in Gujarat with great joy, and that would put a burden on security personnel to manage the India-Pak clash and provide security to the huge crowd during the festival.
There could be some changes to the schedule as 2-3 ICC full members have made objections to the World Cup fixtures. Everything will clear within a few days. The dates will be changed as the gaps between the games at a particular venue will be reworked. For example, a 6-day gap will be cut short to four or a 2-day gap would be increased to three. Venues will not be changed in any case.”
BCCI secretary Jay Shah told reporters.
