The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is awaiting clearance to send its national team to India for the 50-over World Cup provided the condition that a security delegation visits India and approves it. Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, established a committee to decide Pakistan\u2019s World Cup participation. Under Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto\u2019s chairmanship, the committee will meet for the first time on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zaka Sharaf, the chairman of the PCB Management Committee, will also be attending the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The committee is going to recommend that a high-level security delegation be dispatched to India to tour all the stadiums where the Pakistani team is due to play its World Cup matches and review all the security and other arrangements, according to a source close to the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The committee consists of 14 members consisting of several ministers and advisors, comprising the law minister, the foreign minister, the interior minister, the foreign secretary, the Inter-Provincial Coordination minister, the advisor on Kashmir affairs, as well as representatives from other agencies and departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source said that there was no opposition to Pakistan playing in India, but the committee sought assurance that there wouldn’t be any issues for the players, officials, spectators, or media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pakistan Cricket Team last travelled to India in the 2016 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two nations haven\u2019t participated in bilateral cricket since 2012-13 and the last test series was held in India in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indian-Pakistan match in the upcoming ICC men\u2019s World Cup Team 2023 (50-over) has been moved from October 15 to October 14. The match was rescheduled to prevent its concurrence with the Navratri festival. Ahmedabad civil administration and police authorities had brought attention to upholding sufficient security arrangements during the festival which eventually led to this change. However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah explained that this wasn\u2019t the sole reason for the adjustments in the schedule, as other countries also wanted changes in the World Cup schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to this revision in the World Cup schedule, Pakistan\u2019s game against Hyderabad has also been tallied. Originally meant to take place on October 12, it has been shifted forward to October 19. This will allow Pakistan to have a three-day gap between its matches with Sri Lanka and India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
