ODI World Cup 2023: Former PCB chief takes brutal dig at BCCI over schedule chaos

ICC and BCCI took a long time to announce the schedule for the upcoming ODI World Cup to be played in India. Subsequently, they had to make changes for the match between India vs Pakistan match due to security concerns in Ahmedabad. Originally set for October 15, the high-octane clash between the arch-rivals will now take place on October 14 at the same venue. 

The situation had a ripple effect on the schedule as scheduling of many other matches had to be changed. Now, Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) has requested for another change in the schedule by taking into account the logistical and security considerations. However, another change in the schedule would create a logistical nightmare and invite criticism from fans and the cricket community.

Reacting over the development, former head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Najam Sethi took the opportunity to make a harsh comment about the BCCI.

“@BCCI should have taken my advice re @TheRealPCB playing their WC games in a neutral country :) They are now in a mess with schedule tweaks being proposed every few days!” tweeted Sethi.
