Waiting to get NOC from government
Why this happens only with the Indian cricket team is a big question. Before this, the hockey team had played tournaments in Pakistan. In tennis, Indian players are seen playing in pairs with Pakistani players. But whenever there is talk of Indian cricket team going to Pakistan, everyone from social media to government representatives stand against it. Despite getting the hosting rights of Asia Cup in the year 2022, Pakistan had to hold some matches in Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that the Indian cricket team comes under the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), while the blind cricket team is managed by the Cricket Association of India i.e. CABI.
Pakistan is hosting for the first time
This is the first time that the Pakistan Blind Cricket Council (PBCC) is organizing the T20 World Cup in Pakistan and the first three World Cups were organized by the Cricket Association for the Blind in India and Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled. The first three T20 World Cups were won by India against Pakistan (2 times in 2012 and 2017) and Bangladesh in 2022.
