ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs Pakistan to now be played on Oct 14 — Check rescheduled fixtures, dates, ticket booking information

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: The International Council of Cricket (ICC) has announced today, August 9, that it has rescheduled a total of nine matches, including the match between India and Pakistan, from the current fixtures of the ICC World Cup that will be played in India later this year. The match between arch-rivals will now be played on October 14.

The rescheduling was done on a request from the BCCI to the ICC for India vs Pakistan match, which was supposed to be played on October 15. The reason behind the request was due to the festival of Navaratri, which will start on October 15. 

Along with that, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) had also requested BCCI to reschedule England vs Pakistan match, which was to be played on October 12 at the Eden Gardens. According to reports, CAB officials had raised security concerns as the match falls on Kali Puja — which is celebrated with pomp and fervour in the state of West Bengal.
