New Delhi: Showing concern over the security of its cricketers, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stopped its national women's team from going to India until it gets written security assurances and guarantees for the World T20 in India.
The Shaharyar Khan, PCB Chairman, said that the women's team was earlier slated to leave for India on Tuesday afternoon.
"But their departure has now been put on hold as we are in touch with the government on the security issues in India," Khan was quoted as saying by PTI.
He also made it clear that they were still waiting for visas of the women's team which will also take part in the ICC World T20, scheduled to take place in India.
Now, a three-member team constituted by the Pakistan government will depart for India on Monday to assess the security arrangements for the national team for the World T20 cricket tournament beginning next week.
The Pakistan men's team was scheduled to depart for India by Thursday but they too have delayed the departure of their cricketers until the security delegation gives clearance.
