Tensions have escalated following the recent Pahalgam attack, leading to Pakistan’s Gull Feroza announcing that their women’s cricket team will not participate in India for the upcoming World Cup. Feroza, echoing PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s sentiments, expressed a desire for Asian playing conditions and proposed Sri Lanka or Dubai as alternative neutral venues. This decision comes in the wake of the Indian men’s team opting out of traveling to Pakistan earlier this year for the Champions Trophy, resulting in their matches, including the final, being relocated to Dubai. The move underscores the ongoing challenges in sporting relations between the two neighboring countries.
