In response to the worsening air quality in Mumbai and Delhi, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced there will be no fireworks display during the ICC World Cup matches in these cities. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah confirmed the decision, emphasizing the board's commitment to combating environmental issues and prioritizing the health and safety of fans and stakeholders. The move, aimed at raising environmental awareness, comes amid rising concerns about air pollution during Diwali time. The next matches at these stadiums will feature India vs South Africa in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, and Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi.
