In a startling development, due to lack of adequate security cover stemming from a changed schedule that runs into festivals, the World Cup warm-up game between Pakistan and New Zealand on September 29 will be played under closed doors – no fans will be present- at the Rajiv Gandhi international stadium in Hyderabad. The Indian board will be issuing directions to Bookmyshow, the ticketing partner for the World Cup, to refund the money to those who have booked tickets for the game.
“The game will be played without spectators and those who have booked their tickets, their money will be refunded,” a BCCI official confirmed.
The security agencies had earlier raised red-flags over the two back-to-back World Cup 2023 league games scheduled to be held on October 9 and October 10 at the Rajiv Gandhi international cricket stadium in Hyderabad.
