‘Daru peekar schedule bana rahe ho’ – Fans react to rescheduling of matches in 2023 ODI World Cup

The 2023 ODI World Cup is set to take place from the 5th of October to the 19th of November later this year. The schedule was not designed with security concerns in mind for certain parts of the country during the months of October and November, which coincide with major festivals such as Navratri, Durga Puja, and Deepavali. 

The police forces in major cities like Ahmedabad and Kolkata highlighted that handling the crowd would not be easy during the festival. As a result, the Indian cricket board had to reschedule some of the matches to different dates. Many of these matches are high-profile ones, for which there will be a lot of crowds. The final schedule for the 2023 ODI World Cup is out.
