BREAKING: India-Pakistan World Cup sport prone to be rescheduled, Oct 15 clashes with Navratri begin



The October 15 India-Pakistan World Cup match in Ahmedabad will doubtless be rescheduled.

With the Worldwide Cricket Council (ICC) slotting the match’s most anticipated sport on the primary day of Navratri, a competition celebrated with mass participation at garba nights throughout Gujarat, safety companies, it's discovered, have suggested the BCCI to tweak the itinerary.

If the date modifications, a logistical nightmare awaits followers who've finalized journey plans for the sport whose tickets get bought out inside hours, and produce sky-high TRPs for broadcasters.

“We're mulling the choices that we've and a choice will likely be taken quickly. We've got been informed by the safety companies {that a} high-profile sport like India vs Pakistan, for which 1000's of travelling followers are anticipated to achieve Ahmedabad, must be averted since they are going to be stretched due to Navratri,” a prime BCCI official, who didn't want to be recognized, informed The Indian Express.

Late final month, when the ICC introduced the World Cup schedule, the almost 1-lakh-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium received 4 marquee video games – the match opener between New Zealand and England, India vs Pakistan, England vs Australia, and the ultimate. The occasion will likely be held in 10 cities, with the semifinals to be held in Mumbai and Kolkata

Studies from Ahmedabad say that the majority motels are already over-booked for mid-October and even homestay choices have been exhausted. A surge in airfares is predicted as properly. Mass cancellation and frenzied reserving are on the playing cards if a brand new date for the India-Pakistan sport is introduced.
