World Cup 2023 Schedule: Pakistan’s Refusal to Play at Narendra Modi Stadium Raises Concerns for ICC

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made headlines again after reports emerged that the team will refuse to play at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad during the ODI World Cup 2023. This latest development follows the PCB’s recent loss of Asia Cup rights, which has thrown the team’s participation in the upcoming tournament into question.

Here are some key takeaways: Pakistan’s Refusal to Play at Narendra Modi Stadium Raises Concerns for ICC

  • Pakistan is set to refuse to play games at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the India vs. Pakistan match and the World Cup final are expected to be held.
  • The Men in Green may end up playing most of their games in Bengaluru and Chennai for security reasons, with Eden Gardens in Kolkata being another potential location for the mega clash.
  • PCB had previously threatened to pull out of the ODI World Cup if the BCCI did not send a team for the Asia Cup. Although BCCI cited the Indian government’s refusal to clear their travel, there should be no such problem for Pakistan.
  • Reports suggest that Pakistan will travel to India for the ODI World Cup only if the BCCI assures that the side will travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

World Cup 2023 Schedule: Pakistan’s Refusal to Play at Narendra Modi Stadium Raises Concerns for ICC

The ICC is yet to announce the official schedule for the ODI World Cup 2023, with an announcement expected after the IPL 2023. However, Pakistan’s refusal to play at the Narendra Modi Stadium raises concerns for the ICC, particularly as the stadium is one of the venues shortlisted for the India vs. Pakistan match and the World Cup final.

The ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India have once again thrown a spanner in the works for the cricketing world. It remains to be seen whether the PCB will participate in the upcoming tournaments, and if so, where their games will be played.
