The arch-rivals are scheduled to lock horns on the 9th of June at Eisenhower Park New York. Authorities revealed the threat of a ‘lone wolf attack’ amid the clash.
The world of cricket is just two to three days away from the biggest cricketing event in the USA. The T20 World Cup 2024 will witness a Pakistan vs. India clash on the 9th of June at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium, built on Eisenhower Park in New York.
This is happening for the first time in history that the USA is hosting such a big event alongside the West Indies. But there’s also a hint of worry because there are terror threats ahead of this game, which has prompted the Long Island authorities to improve security.
The governor’s office has stated that there is “no credible public safety threat at this time,” despite the fact that they have not discovered any proof to support the threat claims. Nevertheless, they are not stopping there.
“Lone Wolf Attack Threat” Causes Security to Rise
While the epic battle was being planned, Bruce Blakeman, the executive of Nassau County, and Patrick Ryder, the Commissioner of Police, disclosed the possibility of a “lone wolf attack.”
“All kinds of threats are sent daily to Nassau County and other communities, cities, counties, and villages around the United States. Blakeman stated, “We take every threat seriously” (reported by CBS News).
The India vs. Pakistan match is one of eight matches, including the main event that will take place at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium. There is no doubt that the presence of these two titans of cricket will attract a sizable crowd to this match.
