Pakistan prefers Chennai and Kolkata as likely to play its World cup matches

According to the Press Trust of India, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is keen to ensure that the 2023 Men's ICC World Cup in Green matches are held in Chennai and Kolkata.

According to ICC sources, the Pakistan cricket team has expressed a desire to play most of its matches in Chennai and Kolkata during the 2023 ODI World Cup. These two cities have been deemed safe by the team during their past tours.

The World Cup is expected to start on October 5 with 46 matches in 12 Indian cities including Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mumbai, Rajkot, Bengaluru, Delhi, Indore, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Dharamasala.

The forthcoming India vs Pakistan match is likely to be a contentious issue as the ICC looks to maximize profits, with Ahmedabad's 132,000 capacity stadium being the most lucrative option. However, as the final will already be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, an alternative venue may be chosen.

During the league phase of the tournament, each team plays nine games in a round-robin format. The ICC Events Committee and BCCI will work together to finalize the schedule over the coming months to allow fans from all parts of India to plan their travel arrangements.

In Kolkata, Pakistan played their T20 World Cup match against India in 2016 and the players were very happy with the safety. Likewise, Chennai remains memorable as a host city for Pakistan. It's also about feeling safe in certain places," a source close to the ICC board who was following the developments told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Although Ahmedabad has the highest capacity of 132,000, which would give ICC the best chance of maximum profits, Narendra Modi Stadium is already scheduled to host the final. Therefore, another venue between Chennai and Kolkata could be chosen as the venue for the India-Pakistan game.

In a recent interview, Najam Sethi, the Chairman of the PCB Management Committee, admitted that Pakistani fans do not want the men in green to play at the World Cup in India unless India retaliates by winning the Asia Cup in India Pakistan plays.

"I know people don't want us to go to India if India doesn't come to Pakistan. People want us to assert ourselves and not be dictated to," Sethi said.
