Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly stopped their men's and women's team from travelling to India for the World Twenty20 over security concerns. After a three-man team from Pakistan assessed the arrangements in Dharamsala on Tuesday (March 8), the board has decided that the team should not play at the venue.
"PCB has delayed national women's and men's cricket team from travelling to India.The final decision on teams departure to India for T20 World Cup will be taken after a formal go-ahead by the interior ministry," Amjad Hasan, PCB's director media, was quoted as saying by The Dawn.
Earlier, Virbhadra Singh, the chief minister of the Himachal Pradesh, had stated that he would not be able to provide security for the game.
As per schedule, both the Pakistan teams were supposed to fly out to India on Wednesday (March 9) but an instruction to defer that itinerary has come at the 11th hour. The Shahid Afridi-led side are scheduled to face India in Dharamsala on March 19.
