NEW DELHI: Senior International Cricket Council officials have travelled to Pakistan to secure the country's participation in this year's 50-overs World Cup in India which has been in doubt for political reasons.
India has declined to tour Pakistan for September's Asia Cup and wants the entire tournament to be held in a neutral country, which has prompted a tit-for-tat response from the Pakistan Cricket Board . The PCB said in a statement ICC Chairman Greg Barclay and CEO Geoff Allardice would arrive in Lahore on Tuesday to meet Sethi and other cricket officials during their two-day visit."That's something that's obviously ongoing at the moment," ICC General Manager Wasim Khan told a virtual press conference on Monday when asked about Pakistan's participation in the World Cup.
"But that's certainly up to the two countries and the hierarchy within the ICC to discuss them and come to some conclusions," added former PCB CEO Khan.
