The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 will either be held in Bengaluru or Colombo on November 2.
Apart from hosts India and defending champions Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan will compete in the tournament.
It is worth noting here that the Pakistan women’s team qualified for the tournament after their undefeated run in the ICC Women’s WC qualifier.
Following the Pakistan women’s team’s qualification, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Mohsin Naqvi said that the national women’s team will not be going to India.
“Pakistan’s participation in the next global competition would adhere to the Fusion Formula [the same structure decided upon before the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025],” Mohsin Naqvi said.
“Pakistan will not travel to India as this formula has already been agreed upon,” the PCB chairman told reporters.
