The Cricket Association of Bengal has requested the BCCI for rescheduling the ODI World Cup league fixture between England and Pakistan, a report in ESPNCricinfo said. The said fixture is originally slated for 12 November, which is also the date of Kali Puja.
The development comes after the CAB were informed by Kolkata police that it would be difficult for them to provide security on 12 November citing the festival.
Should the game be rescheduled, this would be the second fixture involving Pakistan to have done so, after the marquee India vs Pakistan match was preponed by a day to 14 October, from 15 October. This came after the Ahmedabad Police had concerns on if they would have been able to provide security for the match on 15 October, the day of Navratri.
The report said that PCB had agreed to the change and that the match would be played in Ahmedabad.
The 2023 ODI World Cup is scheduled to be held from 5 October to 19 November, but on 27 July, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had said that the schedule would be subject to change.
The revised schedule is yet to be announced.
