Pakistan is set to host another ICC event from April 4 as Women’s World Cup Qualifiers are about to occur here.
Six squads are already announced to participate in the ICC Women's World Cup tournament including hosts India, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and South Africa. The above date of even commencement is a tentative idea while the precise dates are still to be rolled out.
Highlights of the PAK Hosted ICC Women’s WC Qualifiers
The ICC tournament featuring the Women’s cricket squads from around the world is about to begin in less than a month.
Hosts will start with the qualifiers to shortlist the top teams to contest the ICC Women's World Cup, which will be hosted in India later in 2025.
- Pakistan to host the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers as reported from the recent announcement by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
- Sources reveal that April 4 is the tentative date for the six-team competition. Although the exact dates and place are still to be decided, Lahore will be the host city for conducting the event.
- Women’s cricket squads participating in the ICC Women WC qualifiers along with Pakistan are West Indies, Ireland, Bangladesh, Thailand and Scotland.
The above-listed five teams will participate in the competition to reserve two spots in the World Cup event scheduled in India. October 2025 is the month reserved for starting the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 event.
ICC Women’s World Cup Will Have a Hybrid Model
Considering the mutual diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan, the BCCI and PCB signed an agreement related to playing international matches in both nations.
As international cricket events are important to both nations, a mutual bond is created, considering the edgy relationships.
- Both boards concluded that if there’s any international match hosted in any of these countries and the opposite squad has to play, then a neutral nation will be fixed for it.
- The regulatory third party for such decisions will be the International Cricket Council (ICC).
- A recent example of this hybrid arrangement is the India matches for the Champions Trophy being held in Dubai.
- If the Pakistan Women’s squad qualifies for the Women’s World Cup 2025 hosted by India, there will be a dispute over where the India-PAK match will take place. There’s still time to discuss this topic.
With growing interest in women’s cricket and major ICC tournaments, fans are also eager to engage in discussions about online cricket betting legal sites where they can place bets on their favorite teams and players. As the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers approach, betting enthusiasts will be looking for reliable platforms that offer legal and safe betting options.
PAK and India Relations Throw an Impact on Nation’s ICC Events!
The hybrid international match concept was first executed during the 2013 Women’s World Cup when most of the cricket matches were scheduled in Mumbai. The Pakistan squad played the game in Cuttack due to threats from the local political parties.
PSL Qualifiers are to be scheduled on April 11, which conflicts with the date of the T20 Franchise event. ICC and PCB had to discuss managing the dates.
