Pakistan's Participation in ICC World Cup in India Depends on Government Approval, PCB Informs ICC

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially communicated to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the Pakistani national team will participate in the upcoming World Cup, slated to be held in India later this year, only if the government grants permission. This announcement comes in response to India’s rigid conditions for participation in the Asia Cup 2023, insisting on holding the event at a neutral venue.

Due to strained political relations, bilateral cricket between Pakistan and India has remained suspended, with matches only taking place during multi-team tournaments. Despite the PCB’s proposal for a hybrid hosting model for the regional cricket event, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) continues to exhibit reluctance in providing clarity on the matter.

During a crucial meeting in Lahore, PCB officials made it clear to ICC Chairman Greg Barclay and Chief Executive Geoff Allardice that Pakistan would adhere to the government’s directives regarding participation in the World Cup if the Indian team did not visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup.

The visit of the top ICC officials to Pakistan, with Barclay making his first-ever trip to the country, aimed to address various matters, including the PCB’s share in ICC revenue and concerns related to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). However, an agreement was not reached during the meeting, necessitating further negotiations between the PCB and ICC officials, which are set to continue for another day before the ICC officials depart.

The PCB has been striving to host the event in Pakistan as organizing it in another country would have a detrimental impact on their efforts to revive international cricket in the financially constrained nation. However, India, their arch-rival, continues to undermine Pakistan’s endeavors, contributing to the ongoing complexities surrounding the tournament.

As the discussions between the PCB and ICC officials unfold, the final decision on Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup will depend on the government’s stance and approval, underscoring the significance of political considerations in international cricket competitions.
