India-Pakistan World Cup Clash Likely to be Rescheduled Due to Navratri Festival. The much-awaited India-Pakistan encounter in the upcoming ODI World Cup, initially slated for October 15 in Ahmedabad, is facing the possibility of rescheduling owing to the Navratri festival.

Media reports in India suggest that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received advice to reconsider the game’s date due to security concerns.

“We are currently exploring various options, and a decision will be made shortly. Security agencies have cautioned us against organizing a high-profile match like India vs. Pakistan during Navratri. They fear that the massive influx of traveling fans to Ahmedabad during this festival could strain their resources,” stated an anonymous source in a report by the Indian Express.

While changing the game’s date could pose logistical challenges for fans who have already arranged their travel plans based on the original schedule, the BCCI is carefully considering the situation to ensure a safe and successful event.
