A day-night ODI on Asian soil means a match that starts at 1:30 PM. That’s why the match ended around midnight. However, during the winter season, it becomes very difficult to play matches at this time. Because, as the night progresses, the amount of dew also increases. Team India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin appealed to the ICC to bring forward the timing of the match to avoid this dew in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

The ICC ODI World Cup is going to be held in India in October-November this year. As the schedule to be played in the winter season, the field is naturally expected to be dewy. That’s why Ashwin’s headache is so that the dew cannot have any effect on the game. Recently on his YouTube channel, Ashwin appealed for the matches to start at 11:30 am.

Ashwin said, “India have done well on slow wickets recently in the Sri Lanka series. It cannot be said that Sri Lanka played badly either. I don’t think there was much difference between the two teams. There was a little gap due to dew after the toss. If we want the upcoming World Cup matches to start at 11:30. We can do. The starting time of the match should be fixed according to the ground being played.”

Ashwin has drawn the attention of ICC in this regard. The Indian bowling all-rounder also said, “There will be dew here during the World Cup matches. This is well known by the ICC. This dew can seriously affect the match. That’s why the ICC should bring the match time forward and start the game at 11:30. Even if the match time is brought forward a little, the World Cup The audience will not decrease.”

Meanwhile, India has started planning around the World Cup at home since the beginning of the year. Because the Asian giants have not been able to bring home an ICC title for a long time. India last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Last won the ODI World Cup in 2011. So, this time, Team India is desperate to become the champion at home.
