Pakistan agree to World Cup schedule change

LAHORE, Aug 02 (Geo TV): The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has accepted the International Cricket Council's (ICC) amendments to the World Cup 2023 schedule.
The international body had contacted Pakistan, informing it that changes needed to be made to the schedule. In response, the board, according to sources, agreed to the proposal.
In line with the new schedule, the match venues will not shift, only the dates have been changed. The ICC will announce the updated schedule soon.
The Indian media had reported that security agencies have advised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to alter the itinerary in light of Navratri, a festival celebrated with mass participation across Gujarat, which will fall on the 15th of October when the crucial Pakistan vs India match was set to take place.
Ten teams will fight for the elusive title across 10 venues from October 05 to November 19, with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosting the tournament opener and the final. The day matches will start at 10:00am Pakistan Standard Time (PST) while all other matches will be day-night fixtures starting at 01:30pm (PST).
