[Saba Sports News] The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is all set to host the India versus Pakistan match on the 14th of October. India will enter the field with a great reputation as the hosts have never lost a match against their neighbours in the ICC 50-over World Cup, and they will have the responsibility to keep that record intact in their eighth meeting.
The much-anticipated match between the arch-rivals will also mark the attendance of the current Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Zaka Ashraf, who is all set to arrive in India on the 12th of October, two days before the clash.
Pakistani media personnel have also been allowed to submit their passports to obtain visas to cover the World Cup 2023. It has come to light that around 60 journalists from Pakistan will travel to India.
“I have delayed my travel to India, and I am travelling tomorrow after receiving confirmation that Pakistan’s journalists have been asked to submit their passports to obtain visas to cover the mega-event,” Ashraf said in a press release issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
“I am happy that my conversation with the foreign office helped in achieving a positive development regarding the visa delay. I am travelling to India to motivate the team, and my message to them before the India contest will be to play fearlessly as they have been playing throughout the event,” he added
Furthermore, according to various reports, the honorable Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Rishi Sunak, will attend the India versus England match, scheduled to take place on 29th October at Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
