India has lost its hosting rights for the Women’s Blind Cricket World Cup after they refused to participate in the Blind T20 World Cup which is currently going on in Pakistan.
This was decided in the meeting which took place in Multan.
Citing the denial of a No Objection Certificate (NOC), the meeting covered India’s last-minute denial to deploy its squad to Pakistan.
Pakistan expressed worries, noting that India had also rejected visas to Pakistan’s blind cricket team, therefore preventing their participation in an event in 2022.
The council responded by choosing to move the Women’s Blind Cricket World Cup set for next year from India elsewhere.
Furthermore agreed upon was Pakistan’s and India’s non-hosting of international matches against one another on their respective territory due of continuous political unrest. These games will rather take place at neutral locations.
Is India coming to Pakistan for Champions Trophy?
After years, Pakistan was set to host International Cricket Council (ICC) event early next year, with preparations for the Champions Trophy progressing smoothly. However, India’s announcement of its unwillingness to tour Pakistan has complicated matters.
Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials met ICC top executives in Dubai, while PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi discussed the issue with Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah.
During these discussions, the PCB proposed a “Partnership or Fusion Formula.”
Under this arrangement, teams from both nations would play their matches at a neutral venue, Dubai, for all ICC events hosted by either country over the next three years. The proposal aims to establish fairness and resolve longstanding tensions.
