Delhi Police Requests Rescheduling of India-Afghanistan T20I Due to BRICS Summit
· Sports · Indian Express, NDTV Sports, Times of India
Delhi Police has asked for the rescheduling of the India-Afghanistan T20 International cricket match, originally scheduled for September 13, due to security concerns during the BRICS Summit in Delhi from September 11–13. The police cited the need to manage additional security requirements for both events simultaneously. The match’s new date has not yet been announced, and further updates are pending. The BRICS Summit will draw significant international attention and security resources to the national capital. This is a developing story, and cricket fans should monitor for official announcements.
Why it matters
Cricket fans in Delhi and beyond may face delays in watching the match live, and Afghanistan’s cricket team could experience logistical disruptions. The rescheduling also highlights the challenges of coordinating high-profile international events in a city already under heightened security.
