ICC World T20: Pakistan team's departure to India delayed
According to media reports, the move was made citing 'security concerns' in the neighbouring nation which is hosting the current edition of the tournament.
PCB Director Media Amjad Hussain was quoted as saying by Dawn News: "The final decision on team’s departure to India for T20 World Cup will be taken after a formal go ahead by the interior ministry.”
“PCB has delayed national women's and men's cricket team from travelling to India,” said Hussain.
India is currently hosting the ICC World T20.
India and Pakistan are scheduled to clash on in Dharamsala on March 19.
Dawn News reported that the Pakistani security team which visited Dharamsala suggested that the Himachal Pardesh’s state administration lacks quick response facilities which may 'endanger lives and property of Pakistan squad'.
