BCCI refuses to permit the wish of Pakistan as PCB asks to change the venue for PAK vs. AFG World Cup 2023
The ongoing tension between the Pakistan Cricket Board and BCCI puts the two apex cricketing bodies at a crossroads. The Pakistan Cricket Board has shown objectivity in playing against Afghanistan on a spin-friendly pitch in Chennai. But the Board of Control of Cricket in India has waived off the idea of changing the venue.
Before the release of the schedule for the World Cup 2023, the ICC had asked for suggestions and recommendations from the PCB about their plan for the schedule of the ODI World Cup 2023. It has been there when PCB raised objections that they are not comfortable facing Afghanistan in Chennai.
As per the report by a news agency, "The PCB sent the tentative itinerary for the team to the selectors and experts, who apparently are not comfortable with some of the Pakistan team’s scheduled matches and venues, like Pakistan playing Afghanistan in Chennai and Australia in Bengaluru."
