Following the announcement of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 India schedule and venues, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan said that it is not possible for Pakistan to “cherry pick” the venues it wants to play at since it is an ICC event.

He also said that ICC and BCCI are on the same page about the schedule and the match between India and Pakistan should be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which is “one of the finest stadiums in the world.”

Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will square off at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 this October at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The opening game of the World Cup is scheduled to place at the same venue on October 5 with a match between defending champions England and New Zealand in Ahmedabad, the ICC announced on Tuesday.
