He said, ‘Before any tour of India, it is the practice for the cricket board to take permission from the government. The government usually sends a delegation to India before the tour. “The delegation will interact with the match venue officials and discuss and inspect the security and other arrangements for our players, officials, fans and media traveling to the tournament,” he added.
He said that if the delegation felt that it would be better for Pakistan to play at some other venue than the one scheduled, it would mention the same in its report. “If the delegation has any concerns, the PCB will share the report with the ICC and the BCCI (Indian cricket board),” he added.
A PCB source confirmed that the last time Pakistan traveled to India for the T20 World Cup, the government had sent a joint delegation to inspect the venues. “Pakistan’s match against India in Dharamsala (2016 T20 World Cup) was shifted to Kolkata on the recommendation of the delegation,” he said.
The source said Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup would be confirmed only after the government clears the PCB. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Hockey Federation is awaiting approval to send its team for the Asian Champions Trophy in Chennai in August. Recently the country’s football team played in the SAFF Championship in Bengaluru only after getting NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the government bodies at the last minute. The ODI World Cup will be played in 10 Indian cities from October 5 to November 19.
