The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called an important meeting to discuss the rescheduling of Pakistan-India World Cup match.
Since the tournament’s most anticipated game is on the first day of Navratri, a festival celebrated with mass participation across Gujarat, security agencies have advised the BCCI to tweak the itinerary.
Hence, the BCCI has called a meeting tomorrow in New Delhi. The meeting will also be discussing the preparations for the much-anticipated event.
Indian media earlier reported that BCCI is considering an option to shift the high-octane clash from October 15 to 14 at the same venue. There are already two matches scheduled on October 14.
Meanwhile, BCCI will also form a World Cup working group to put arrangements on track for the mega event. This group is most likely to feature five members including BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah.
