India-Pakistan World Cup clash could be rescheduled: report

The highly-anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the upcoming ODI World Cup, originally scheduled for October 15 in Ahmedabad, is likely to be rescheduled due to the Navratri festival. 

According to media reports in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been advised to reschedule the game due to security concerns. 

“We are mulling the options that we have and a decision will be taken soon. We have been told by the security agencies that a high-profile game like India vs Pakistan, for which thousands of travelling fans are expected to reach Ahmedabad, should be avoided since they will be stretched because of Navratri,” a source was quoted as saying in a report by the Indian Express.

Changing the date of the game could create a logistical nightmare for fans who have already made travel plans according to the game’s schedule.
