In a crucial development, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has written a letter to the government, seeking permission for the national cricket team to participate in the upcoming World Cup scheduled to be held in India.
According to sources, the PCB has written a letter to the Prime Minister’s Office through the Inter-Provincial Coordination Committee, requesting permission for the team’s participation in the World Cup in India.
The letter reportedly emphasizes the need for guidance from the government regarding whether to participate in the World Cup being hosted by India and which venues to play at.
The sources further reveal that the PCB has also provided the government with a list of venues for the team’s matches and urged for a decision to be made before the team’s departure.
Notably, a delegation from Pakistan had visited India prior to the 2016 World T20, and the PCB is ready for assistance in sending a delegation this time as well. The PCB has also sent copies of the letter to the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicating the importance and urgency of the matter.
The decision regarding Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup in India holds immense emotional significance for cricket fans and players alike, as they eagerly await the government’s response.
