IND Vs AFG T20I Postponed? BRICS Summit Could Force Date Change For New Delhi Match
The IND vs AFG 1st T20I could be postponed amid security concerns in New Delhi. The match was set to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on September 13 but could be moved with the BRICS summit also held on the same date in the capital city. The Men in Blue have already arrived in Delhi and began training with a confirmation from BCCI expected soon. Why Could IND vs AFG 1st T20I Be Rescheduled?…
The first T20 International between India and Afghanistan, scheduled to take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on September 13, may be postponed due to security concerns. The match was set to be played on the same day as the BRICS summit in the capital city.
India's players have already arrived in Delhi and have commenced training. The BCCI is expected to confirm the situation soon. According to Cricbuzz, the primary reason for the possible rescheduling lies in the clash between the cricket match and the BRICS summit. The deployment of additional security personnel and anticipated movement restrictions in sensitive areas could add pressure on security agencies.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is situated in central Delhi, an area where heightened security and traffic management could be crucial during the summit. Consequently, authorities might prefer to steer clear of hosting two major events concurrently in the capital to ensure seamless security operations and minimize disruption to public movement.
Delhi Traffic Police has requested the Directorate of Cricket Control Authority (DDCA) to reschedule the cricket match on September 13. DDCA responded by stating it is not their event, and any date changes will be communicated in due course.
