The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has convened an important meeting to discuss the rescheduling of the much-anticipated Pakistan-India World Cup match. The match’s original date, coinciding with the first day of Navratri, a widely celebrated festival in Gujarat, has prompted security agencies to advise BCCI to make adjustments to the itinerary.
To address this concern, the BCCI has called for a meeting in New Delhi, scheduled for tomorrow. During the meeting, they will not only deliberate on the rescheduling matter but also focus on the preparations for this highly anticipated event.
One option under consideration is shifting the high-octane clash from October 15 to October 14, which already has two matches scheduled at the same venue. This decision aims to ensure a smooth and secure experience for players, fans, and all involved.
Additionally, the BCCI will establish a World Cup working group comprising five members, including BCCI President Roger Binny and Secretary Jay Shah. This group will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing all arrangements related to the mega event.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 schedule includes matches in different venues across India, with each match contributing to the excitement and fervour of the tournament. As the world eagerly awaits this cricketing spectacle, the BCCI is taking proactive steps to ensure the smooth execution of this prestigious event.
