Pakistan Relents and Agrees to Play India in 2023 Cricket World Cup at Narendra Modi Stadium

Pakistan Agrees to Play World Cup Match Against India at Narendra Modi Stadium

In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan has finally relented and agreed to play the 2023 Cricket World Cup match against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This decision comes after initial objections from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), according to national media reports.

The highly anticipated India-Pakistan match is scheduled to take place on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which is the largest cricket stadium in India in terms of seating capacity. The PCB had earlier demanded that the match be shifted to Chennai, Bengaluru, or Kolkata for the security of the Pakistan team.

Pakistan had also raised objections to playing their matches against Afghanistan in Chennai and Australia in Bengaluru. However, they are still standing firm on these demands. The International Cricket Council (ICC) may also reject these objections for non-security reasons. The official schedule of the World Cup will be released by the ICC at a function in Mumbai tomorrow.

While the Pakistan government has taken the decision to play the match in Ahmedabad, the PCB has stated that it will abide by whatever decision the government takes. The ICC and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have already decided to hold the India-Pakistan match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which has the largest number of spectators in the World Cup. Ticket sales revenue is the ICC’s main source of income.

It is worth noting that when the World Cup was held in India in 2011, the arch-rivals faced each other in Mohali. The match was watched by the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan, Manmohan Singh and Yusuf Gilani, respectively. Last week, the Pakistan Board had stated that their participation in the World Cup would be subject to the permission of the Pakistan government.

The opening match of the World Cup will be played between New Zealand and England, while the final will also be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Cricket fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the clash between India and Pakistan, which is always a highly anticipated and intense encounter.
