The ICC World Cup schedule might witness another modification as the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has made a request to the BCCI for rescheduling the Pakistan-England match.

According to a PTI report, the CAB urged the ICC recce team to change the World Cup match’s date between Pakistan and England from November 12 to November 11, coinciding with Kali Puja, citing law-and-order concerns.

If the BCCI and ICC decide to accommodate this change, Pakistan will face its third schedule alteration.

ESPNcricinfo mentioned that CAB officials held a meeting with city police authorities and were apprised of the law-and-order issues during the festival. Subsequently, the association sent a request to Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, seeking the date change.

Previously, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly agreed with the ICC and BCCI on rescheduling two of its World Cup matches.

The high-profile India-Pakistan clash, originally scheduled for October 15, will now be played on October 14 in Ahmedabad. The change was necessitated due to security deployment concerns on the first day of Navratri festival.

Additionally, Pakistan will face Sri Lanka on October 10 in Hyderabad instead of October 12, allowing a three-day gap before the India match.

The revised India-Pakistan date is likely to impact other games and teams, including a potential shift for the Afghanistan-England match to October 13. The schedule adjustments, coming just two months before the ODI World Cup, further contribute to the already delayed original schedule.
