<p>In what comes as a massive news from the cricketing circuit, the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan October 15 World Cup match is likely to be rescheduled. As per a media report, security agencies have advised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to make the change with the fixture clashing with the start of Navaratri, a popular festival especially in Gujarat where garba nights are organised throughout the state. The match is slated to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.</p> <p>While there is no official confirmation on the date change, the same has been claimed in a report by Indian Express.

We have been told by the security agencies that a high-profile game like India vs Pakistan, for which thousands of travelling fans are expected to reach Ahmedabad, should be avoided since they will be stretched because of Navratri," a top BCCI official, on condition of anonymity, told The Indian Express.<br /><br /><em><strong>This is a Developing stories.
