Talking about the changed schedule, BCCI secretary Jay Shah talked about how a few dates and times would be adjusted to decrease the gap to 4-5 days. Shah said, "Three members have written to the ICC for a schedule change. Only the date and timings will be changed, venues will not be changed. If there is a six-day gap between games, we are trying to reduce it to 4-5 days. The picture will be clear in three-four days. Changes will happen in consultation with the ICC."
