CricketPakistan agree to play World Cup in India, if BCCI gives written guarantee: Claims Report 

Srinagar: A report in National media has claimed that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is going to seek written guarantee from BCCI and ICC before committing itself to play Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.

A PTI report has claimed that PCB Chief Najam Sethi would be going to Dubai to seek a “written guarantee” from BCCI about Indian team’s participation in 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan before committing on their national team playing its ODI World Cup games in India, later this year. 

The 2023 World Cup will be played from October 5 and BCCI have zeroed in on Ahmedabad (for India game), Chennai, Bengaluru and Kolkata as possible venues for Babar Azam’s side. 

“Sethi has recently met with some government officials and also obtained advice from them on whether Pakistan should play in the Asia Cup if it is not held in Lahore and Dubai as proposed by the PCB under its hybrid model plan to the ACC,” the report quoted source as saying.

“Sethi is expected to make it very clear to the ACC members that either they accept Pakistan’s hybrid proposal or the PCB will not take part in the competition this year if it is moved from Pakistan,” it said.

“Apparently, Sethi has now realized that it is time for some hard decisions and is not willing to accept any more delays from the ACC on finalization of venues and schedule for the Asia Cup.” “Sethi is clear now no Asia Cup matches in Pakistan, no Pakistan team in Asia Cup,” the source claimed.
