Pakistan seeks foolproof security for cricket team in India

The foreign office stated on Thursday that India was in charge of giving Pakistan impenetrable protection as the national cricket team prepared to compete in the 50-over World Cup in the neighbouring country in October.

Pakistan seeks foolproof security in India: In a press conference on Thursday, FO spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch remarked, “I won’t comment to Indian statements regarding the security of the Pakistan cricket team. India is in charge of giving the Pakistani squad impenetrable security.

Pakistan made the decision to send the national cricket team to India last week in order to compete in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. However, the nation anticipated that full protection would be offered to the national team.

The foreign office emphasised that it was also the nuclear-armed neighbor’s duty to make sure that the Green Shirts had a safe space free from intimidation and harassment. “A setting where fans do not jeer at Pakistani athletes.

“Ahmedabad’s largest cricket stadium will host the eagerly awaited game, previously planned for October 15 at the same location.”

“In June, they released the initial schedules for the 50-over World Cup after several weeks of delays caused by Pakistan’s unwillingness to visit India.”

Due to their long-standing political differences, India and Pakistan only compete against each other in international cricket competitions.

“As a result, the international sporting calendar considers each game between the South Asian neighbors as among most-watched, and both countries exploit any victory to strengthen nationalism domestically.”

“Whenever matches are play, they captivate cricket fans from all around the world, holding their attention to TV screens and providing broadcasters with a multi-billion dollar windfall.”

On September 3, tickets for the electrifying event will go on sale.

“I believe we will play in World Cup, not just against India. We don’t concentrate on single team. There are nine other teams, so we can only advance to final if we defeat them, Pakistan team captain Babar Azam remarked on July 6 during press conference.
