Last week, a pro-ISIS group posted a scary message on social media with a photo of a hooded gunman. The image had a chilling threat: “You wait for the matches… and we wait for you.” The date on the gun was June 9, the same day as the India-Pakistan cricket match.
According to The Telegraph, the New York Police Department has deployed snipers to keep watch during the India vs. Pakistan cricket match in New York. Police officers will have round-the-clock security to ensure no one damages the pitch.
Security has also been increased at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, with SWAT teams and plainclothes police officers on duty. Additionally, the road next to the stadium and the surrounding areas in Eisenhower Park will be closed.
