Two of Pakistan’s games in the next ICC ODI World Cup 2023 are probably going to be rescheduled, according to reports from insiders who have come forward on the subject.
However, following internal consultations, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) intends to inform the International Cricket Council (ICC) of its position on the anticipated development.
The World Cup match against the Netherlands, which was originally slated for October 6, could be shifted to October 5 or another day. The eagerly anticipated India vs Pakistan (IND vs PAK) match, which was scheduled for October 15, is now probably going to be played a day earlier on October 14.
