Amidst reports of potential threats, additional security measures are set to fortify the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in New York.
Eisenhower Park Stadium, the venue for this electrifying encounter, will witness heightened security protocols as authorities remain vigilant. Governor Kathy Hochul affirmed her commitment to ensuring a safe environment for cricket enthusiasts.
“I have directed the New York State Police to implement heightened security measures, including increased law enforcement presence and advanced surveillance,” stated Governor Hochul.
While there have been reports of threats, no substantiated evidence has been found thus far. Nevertheless, the International Cricket Council (ICC) reassured fans of robust security arrangements across all tournament venues.
“The safety and security of everyone at the event is our number one priority,” affirmed an ICC spokesperson, emphasizing the comprehensive security plan in place.
India’s presence in the US for the tournament adds further significance to the security arrangements. With matches scheduled against Ireland, the USA, and Canada, the clash against Pakistan stands out as a marquee event.
The Indian team, sans Virat Kohli, who is on a well-deserved break after an outstanding IPL season, has already begun preparations in New York.
As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await this monumental clash, authorities are leaving no stone unturned to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all involved.
