ICC Confirms Pakistan Women's Cricket Team Will Not Travel to India for 2025 Women's World Cup

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially confirmed that the Pakistan women's cricket team will not travel to India for the 2025 Women's World Cup. Instead, Pakistan's matches will be staged at a neutral venue in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This decision reflects ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan and follows a similar precedent set during previous ICC events involving the two sides.

The ICC has confirmed the dates and venues for this year's ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, which will run from September 30 until November 2. The tournament will feature eight teams, including India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The event will commence with a blockbuster clash featuring India in Bengaluru on September 30. The final of the 2025 Women's World Cup will be held in either Bengaluru or Colombo on Sunday, November 2.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had already announced last month that the national women's cricket team will not travel to India for the upcoming ICC Women's Cricket World Cup.
