At the same time, BCCI is going to announce the schedule of World Cup 2023 in the next 48 hours. A senior BCCI official has informed about this to a sport.
Chennai may host the mega-match between India and Pakistan after the Pakistani board objected to playing in Ahmedabad.
But if Pakistan secures its place in the semi-finals or final, then it will have to play the match at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
BCCI wants to complete its preparations:-
However, there has been a dispute between BCCI and PCB regarding the ODI World Cup and Asia Cup for a long time. But now only a few months are left for the World Cup, due to which the BCCI wants to complete its preparations.
A senior BCCI official told Ek Sport that “We are meeting ICC officials tomorrow to discuss the fine print of the schedule.
Once it’s done, we’ll lay it out for you. By Monday, we should have the final schedule”.
PCB chief Najam Sethi informed ICC chief Greg Barclay and CEO Geoff Allardice that Pakistan would not play in Ahmedabad, confirming that the team would tour India.
The senior BCCI official further said that “Sethi has told Barclay and Allardyce that Pakistan does not want their matches in Ahmedabad unless it is a knock-out game like the final.
He requested the ICC to hold its games in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata if the national team gets the nod from the Pakistan government.
What is taking so much time in the World Cup schedule:-
- Rift in BCCI vs PCB is also the reason.
- After India refused to travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup 2023 and ICC Champions Trophy 2023, ICC is trying to mediate between the two.
- However, there is no indication that Pakistan will boycott the World Cup, which is hosted by India.
- But PCB has its own conditions and one of them is that the team will not play in Ahmedabad due to political reasons.
- Ahmedabad was to host the India vs Pakistan match at the world’s largest cricket stadium.
