This year a lot has been said about the participation of the Pakistan team in the ODI World Cup, especially during the BCCI vs. PCB logs on the Asia Cup 2023 schedule. Although the Pakistan Board has signed the agreement on their participation in the World Cup, some stakeholders in Pakistan are making conflicting statements on the subject.
Nevertheless, the Pakistan team is expected to travel to India for the World Cup, whose first match is scheduled to be held against the Netherlands on 06 October.
This will be the first time after the 2011 World Cup that the matches of the mega event will be held in India.
