The release of the Cricket World Cup schedule is anticipated on June 27

Posted by Xchange Tickets on June 21st, 2023

The Cricket World Cup schedule was supposed to be unveiled on June 27—100 days before the event’s scheduled start date of October 5—by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who have yet to provide their clearance for the fixture list that the International Cricket Council (ICC) distributed to all participating nations and broadcasters in order to gather feedback, has however proven to be a barrier?

During a recent media briefing, former interim PCB chairman Najam Sethi addressed this issue and emphasized that the Pakistani government has the authority to approve or disapprove the ODI World Cup schedule. Sethi drew a comparison, saying that just as the government of India decides whether or not to allow their team to participate, the government of Pakistan has the power to make decisions on the participation of their team.

The PCB emphasized the requirement of gaining permission from the Pakistani government for all locations in correspondence with the ICC. The ICC was unable to publicly reveal the schedule for the ICC World Cup and start ticket sales as a result of the PCB’s response. As a result, the overall scheduling process has been hampered by the delay in acquiring the required permission from the PCB.

The uncertainty brought on by the PCB’s attitude has forced the BCCI to delay its planned plan to announce the CWC schedule on June 27. The ICC cannot complete the timetable and make the essential preparations, including ticket sales, without the PCB’s consent. The PCB’s insistence that all sites obtain government approval just complicates matters further because it adds another layer of bureaucratic red tape before any final choices can be made.

Pakistan Request for Venue Changes in Cricket World Cup Schedule

In an unexpected turn of events, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has submitted a ludicrous request to the International Cricket Council (ICC), asking for a location change for two of their important league matches at the future ODI World Cup in 2023.

Pakistan’s current schedule includes a match against Australia in Bengaluru on October 20 and a game against Afghanistan in Chennai on October 23. The PCB has requested that these places be switched, suggesting that they instead meet Australia in Chennai and Afghanistan in Bengaluru.

The PCB did not specifically outline in their email the justifications for their request to the ICC. But according to an internal memo seen by ESPNcricinfo, the goal of the proposed venue switch is to increase Pakistan’s chances of winning both games.

According to the internal letter, moving Australia to Chennai and Afghanistan to Bengaluru will considerably improve Pakistan’s chances of winning both matches and establish them as the clear favorites.

It’s still unclear whether the ICC has reacted to the odd request from the PCB or even whether they are thinking about it. Additionally, Pakistan will take on Afghanistan in one of its exhibition games. It’s interesting to note that the PCB has informed the ICC that it would be interested in replacing Afghanistan with any of the following tough opponents for the exhibition game: South Africa, England, New Zealand, or Australia.

A BCCI official BLASTS PCB for postponing the World Cup schedule

A senior BCCI official criticized the PCB for the continuous delay of the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule.

Schedule for the ICC World Cup 2023: It is not surprising that the BCCI and the PCB are at odds about disclosing the schedule for the tournament. The BCCI is frustrated by the schedule’s ongoing delays as a result of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s late alteration demands. It was initially agreed that the schedule would be made public following the WTC Finals. However, it appears that the schedule will be made public the following week.

WHY is there DELAY in Cricket World Cup Schedule? Check real reason

The BCCI and PCB were given a draught timetable by the ICC last week, and they were requested to comment on it. India has no issues with the draught schedule, but the PCB has asked for two significant alterations to the matchups, which has caused a further delay in the schedule’s distribution.

“PCB is free to say whatever they want. However, the delay in announcing the schedule is actually PCB’s fault. Pakistan wasn’t prepared to play in Ahmedabad at first, and they aren’t prepared to play in Chennai, too. According to a senior BCCI spokesperson, they are always nervous.

The PCB has been certain that they won’t play India at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium for to safety concerns. It was therefore decided that India will play host to their bitter enemies in Chennai. Pakistan has now asked the BCCI to move the location of their game against Afghanistan from Chennai after getting the draught schedule.

Despite the PCB’s protest, BCCI declines GRANT Pakistan’s request to play Afghanistan in Chennai for the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

According to the PCB, the Pakistan Cricket Team won’t feel at ease playing an Afghani team that relies heavily on spin on a spin-friendly surface in Chennai. On the other side, the PCB has also asked for a change in the location of their match versus Australia in Bangalore.

In plain English, PCB wants to play Australia and Afghanistan in Chennai and Bengaluru, respectively. However, the BCCI denied the proposal, and the ICC is currently mediating the dispute.

Concerning the delay in the schedule’s distribution, the senior BCCI official expressed his unhappiness and said that PCB was exclusively to blame. They are requesting the same thing once more after first demanding to have their location changed. The official continued by calling PCB insecure.
