PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has announced that Pakistan’s women’s cricket team will not visit India for the ICC Women’s World Cup later this year. This decision is in line with the existing “Fusion Formula,” which has been followed in recent international cricket tournaments.
While speaking to the media after Pakistan’s strong showing in the World Cup qualifiers, Naqvi praised the team for their impressive performance. He said that if needed, alternative arrangements will be made for the team’s participation in the tournament. These could include playing matches at a neutral venue, but the final decision will rest with the tournament organizers.
Pakistan’s women’s team earned their place in the ICC Women’s World Cup after an unbeaten run in the qualifying round. They wrapped up the tournament with a solid win against Bangladesh in Lahore, showcasing their skill and determination.
Naqvi emphasized that the players have made the country proud and the PCB is fully committed to supporting the team in every way. However, due to ongoing tensions and security concerns, traveling to India is not considered a safe or practical option at the moment.
The PCB is now waiting for further instructions from the ICC regarding venue arrangements and hopes for a fair solution that allows all teams to participate without compromising their safety.
Pakistan’s women’s team remains focused and motivated. The players are preparing hard and staying ready for the World Cup, no matter where it takes place. With this strong performance in the qualifiers and the PCB’s backing, the team is aiming to make a mark on the world stage. The final schedule and match locations are expected to be announced by the ICC in the coming months.
