India's Blind Cricket Team Awaits Green Signal for Pakistan World Cup

The Indian cricket team for the Blind, cleared by the Sports Ministry, awaits approval from Home and External Affairs Ministries to travel to Pakistan for the T20 World Cup. The event, scheduled from November 22 to December 3, awaits India's confirmation amid uncertainty surrounding next year's Champions Trophy.

The Sports Ministry green-lit a 17-member Indian blind cricket team's travel to Pakistan for the T20 World Cup, pending nods from Home and External Affairs Ministries.

Set for November 22 to December 3 in Lahore and Multan, this edition sees India as reigning champions. The squad plans to cross the Wagah Border on November 21, pending further clearances.

This decision follows BCCI's refusal to send the men's team to Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy, casting doubt on the event. Meanwhile, the Cricket Association for Blind in India hopes for a positive Ministry response as PBCC confirms the tournament will continue regardless.
