India vs Pakistan match at the 2023 ICC World Cup will be rescheduled due to major security concerns raised by agencies. The much-anticipated India-Pakistan encounter in the ICC World Cup 2023 would most likely be delayed. The much-anticipated World Cup 2023 will be held from October 5 to November 19.
In the tournament’s opening match, reigning world champions England will face New Zealand in a rematch of last year’s World Cup final. The game will be held in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. In contrast, Pakistan and India will launch their campaigns on October 6 and 8, respectively.
Pakistan will launch their global Cup campaign against the Netherlands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, while India will begin their campaign against five-time global winners Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The upcoming World Cup will be an exciting sight, with 48 games being contested over the course of 46 action-packed days. Among these matches, the historic clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is one that fans all over the world are looking forward to.
The much-anticipated match between India and Pakistan was supposed to take place on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, according to the original schedule released by the ICC last month. The game, however, is expected to be rescheduled.
The game would coincide with the first day of Navratri, Gujarat’s biggest holiday, which sees massive crowd involvement in garba functions across the state. According to the Indian Express, security agencies have asked the BCCI to change the itinerary.
“We are considering our options and will make a decision soon.” “We have been advised by security agencies that a high-profile game such as India vs. Pakistan, for which thousands of travelling fans are expected to arrive in Ahmedabad, should be avoided because they will be stretched due to Navratri,” a top BCCI official told the news source.
If the BCCI decides to reschedule the India-Pakistan match, it might be a logistical nightmare for fans. According to recent reports from Ahmedabad, most hotels and homestays are fully booked. The fans reportedly paid a large sum to reserve rooms for the India-Pakistan match.
