Several matches were rescheduled as Indian authorities cited many reasons including security and logistics issues.

“@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!,” Sethi wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

His post came after ESPNcricinfo reported that the Hyderabad Cricket Association raised a concern about hosting back-to-back matches on October 9 and 10.

It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan’s game against the Indian team was rescheduled to October 14 originally planned on October 15 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
