World Cup: 4 times in cricket history, there has been upheaval in the ICC mega event schedule, India-Pakistan have become victims

The ICC has made changes in the dates of some matches of the ODI World Cup 2023 on Wednesday. For cricket fans, the date that attracted the most attention was the date of the match between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK). The ICC changed the dates of 9 World Cup matches (World Cup 2023 New Schedule) in view of the festival season in India. It also includes the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad. Now the match will be played between these two on 14 October.

It may be noted that ICC organizes big tournaments like World Cup and Champions Trophy. The schedule for a tournament is issued by the ICC in consultation with the circumstances of the host country and the participating nations. He would also change the schedule if there was a problem. Something similar happened with the schedule of the ODI World Cup 2023. However, this is not the first time that the ICC has changed the schedule of a major tournament. Let us know when and how often the ICC has made changes to the schedule.

1. The right to host the tournament snatched from Pakistan: The ICC was to host the ODI World in 2011 by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, but the ICC had taken away the rights to host the tournament from Pakistan due to security reasons. Due to this, Pakistan was also angry and was completely disappointed with the decision of the ICC. Finally, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh finally hosted this mega event in 2011.

2. When the stadium was changed at the last moment: The India-Pakistan match in the 2016 T20 World Cup was to be held in Dharamshala, but 10 days before the match, the match was shifted to Kolkata. Security reasons were cited behind this. Finally, the match was played at Eden Gardens, where India won.

3. T20 World Cup was held outside India due to Kovid: The T20 World Cup of the year 2020 was to be played in Australia and the year 2021 would be hosted by India. Due to the Kovid epidemic, the ICC made many changes. The 2020 mega event was postponed to 2022. At the same time, the T20 World Cup of the year 2021 was played in UAE and Oman, hosted by India.
