Pakistan Has Agreed To Play In India
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) agreed to tour India but expressed certain reservations. The board is said to be hesitant to play India in Ahmedabad. However, they are eager to play the final at the renowned stadium if they get that far.
According to the current flow of the schedule, Pakistan’s matches would be held in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru. The BCCI has allocated sites in southern India for the majority of Pakistan’s games.
