New Delhi :The much-anticipated World Cup match between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place on October 15; however, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has the consideration of moving the date. But there are other changes on the horizon as well.

“We have received requests from 2-3 ICC member boards participating in the World Cup to make some changes to the schedule”

“What’s important for us is we don’t have to make any change in venues.” BCCI secretary Jay Shah told reporters after a meeting with the ten staging associations in Delhi on Thursday.

The match between India and Pakistan had to be moved up because it would not conflict with the state's widely observed Navaratri festival.

Police forces might experience a security headache as a result. If the match was postponed for security concerns, Shah flatly denied it.

Even though no other dates have been officially announced, it has been heard that efforts are being made to hold the match on October 14 in order to avoid seriously upsetting the plans of the ICC's sponsors, vendors, and cricket fans who may have already reserved hotels and flights to Ahmedabad.

The longer gap between some matches may be reduced in light of other schedule changes.

Only over the next 3–4 days will it become clear how many adjustments would need to be made to the 46-day event's original schedule.

For the upcoming World Cup, the BCCI made it clear that physical tickets would still be available.

It has been learned that the board is unsure of whether the necessary infrastructure is in place to conduct an e-ticketing exercise in large stadiums in India.

The Indian board intends to set up numerous ticket-collection points at venues, about a week before each match, in order to ensure that fans do not have to endure the ordeal of waiting in long lines.

Tickets will probably go on sale the following week, but that won't happen until the revised schedule is published.
