The date chosen by the management for the match between India and Pakistan is October 15, which is also the first day of the auspicious festival ‘Navratri’, which is celebrated with enthusiasm, especially in Gujarat. With the security agencies advising the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) to review the schedule, the decision has become extremely important and controversial.
Several security agencies are urging the BCCI to consider changing the date of the India-Pakistan clash.
The Navratri festival, celebrated with an all-night Garba dance in Gujarat, is expected to increase the resources of security agencies, raising the prospect of hosting a top-flight match with thousands of fans. Traveling becomes a challenging task. As such, BCCI is considering the best course of action to ensure a safe and smooth experience for both players and spectators.
As rumors of the rescheduling spread, fans took to social media to express their concerns and opinions. The possibility of the most awaited group stage match being altered has sparked widespread debate and BCCI may have to brace for a potential digital backlash. Additionally, the lack of updates on ticket sales for World Cup matches has added to the anxiety and curiosity surrounding the event. Despite the lack of complete information, the hotels in the cities hosting the 2023 World Cup matches are already fully booked.
In response to the escalating situation, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has called for a meeting of all the host sites on July 27 in New Delhi. The meeting is aimed at facilitating discussions and decisions on issues related to the India-Pakistan clash and any other related issues. The outcome of this meeting could set the stage for the cricket match the world eagerly awaited.
