In a recent development, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has made arrangements for the Pakistan team to stay at a different hotel in New York during their upcoming Twenty20 World Cup matches. This decision came after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) raised concerns about the long commute to the stadium, which was causing inconvenience to the players.
According to a source from the PCB, the chairman Mohsin Naqvi personally intervened and requested for a change in the team's accommodation. As a result, the team has now been relocated to a hotel that is just a short five-minute drive from the stadium in Westbury, New York. This will make it easier for the players to reach the venue on time and prepare for their crucial matches.
Pakistan's first two group games are scheduled to take place at the Long Island stadium in Westbury, New York. They will face off against their archrivals India on Sunday, followed by a match against Canada on June 11. The PCB source, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that this change was made after considering the team's best interests and convenience.
In comparison, the Indian cricket team, which is also playing their group games in New York, is staying at a hotel that is just a 10-minute drive from the stadium. They have already won their first match there on Wednesday. This difference in commute time has caused some controversy, with Sri Lanka's team expressing their concerns over their long drive to the stadium from their designated hotel, which is over an hour away.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's journey to New York will take place after their initial Group A match against the United States in Dallas on Thursday. This decision by the ICC to relocate the team to a more convenient location shows their commitment to ensuring a fair and comfortable playing environment for all participating teams. Let's hope this change brings positive results for Pakistan in the upcoming matches.
