India’s Blind Cricket Team Withdraws from T20 World Cup in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (TDI): India’s blind cricket team has officially announced its withdrawal from the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is set to begin in Pakistan on November 23.

The secretary of the Cricket Association for the Blind in India confirmed the decision on Tuesday, stating that the team would not be traveling to Pakistan for the event.

Reports from Indian media suggest that the team’s withdrawal comes after the Indian government declined to issue a no-objection certificate (NOC) for participation in the tournament.

“We had been waiting for 25 days for government approval to travel to Pakistan and confirm our participation in the T20 World Cup,” the secretary said.
