It’s Upto Pakistan Government: PCB Chief Najam Sethi On Pakistan’s participation in WC in India

Najam Sethi, the Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, on Friday raised concerns over Pakistan’s participation in the ODI World Cup 2023, scheduled to take place in India, by saying that it is ‘subject to government’s approval.’

“As far as India and Pakistan go, neither the PCB nor the BCCI can take decisions. The respective government only can take decisions,” Sethi said during the press conference.

The PCB Chair further explained his situation and said that ‘just like India, Pakistan government will decide if Pakistan players will go to India or not.’

“There is no point in asking if we will play in Ahmedabad. When the time comes, first it will be decided whether we are going or not. Our decision will rest on these two important conditions,” Najam Sethi added.

Sethi further said that “We have told ICC that if our government r looks into the security considerations and gives us permission, we will come to play in India. If they don’t give, how can we come and play in India?”
