No Pak women's team in World Cup: Sources

January 15, 2013 19:28

After recent ceasefire violations by Pakistan, and the barbaric killing of two Indian jawans by Pakistani troops, sources say the Pakistan women's cricket team is unlikely to come for the World Cup starting in India later this month, reports NDTV.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has written to the International Cricket Council or ICC on concerns over security for the team.

Rajiv Shukla, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs said, "Whatever reactions we are getting from different political parties and protest groups, we will convey to the ICC and, accordingly, ICC will have to take a decision." He added that any "decision will be taken keeping in mind the sentiments of the people."
