The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made a significant announcement regarding the upcoming Women’s World Cup 2025. The tournament is set to take place in India from September 29 to October 26, featuring eight teams. However, the PCB has stated that the Pakistani women’s team will not travel to India for the event.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi cited the recent Champions Trophy as a precedent, where India refused to send their team to Pakistan. Instead, the matches were held at a neutral venue. Naqvi emphasized that the Pakistani team is willing to participate in the Women’s World Cup at a neutral location if one is designated.
Naqvi stressed the importance of honoring agreements once they are made. He highlighted that the PCB is committed to finding a solution that allows the Pakistani team to participate in the tournament.
PCB Chief Praises Women’s Team
The PCB chairman expressed his support for the Pakistani women’s team, acknowledging their dedication and hard work. The team’s commitment to the sport is evident, and the PCB is working to ensure their participation in the Women’s World Cup.
The decision to hold the Women’s World Cup at a neutral venue, if necessary, would be a significant development in international cricket. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds and what implications it may have for future international cricket events.
