Despite the apprehensions expressed by Najam Sethi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), concerning the upcoming India-Pakistan World Cup game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the much-anticipated fixture will indeed be played at that venue on October 15th. Sethi shared with this newspaper, “When I learned that the match would be in Ahmedabad, I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself – ‘This is surely one way of ensuring we don’t come to India’. Had it been played in Chennai or Kolkata, at least it might have appeared to make sense?”
