Pakistan´s Interior Minister
Chaudhary Nisar has green signal to the national cricket team to travel to
India for the World Twenty20 after getting the full security declarations from
Indian establishments following concerns on player safety.
Pakistan had
earlier said its men and women teams would travel to India only after New Delhi
gave a public assurance on the safety of its players.
"The interior
minister has given permission to send the Pakistan cricket team to play the
World T20 on the basis of concrete assurances received from chief minister of
West Bengal and the union home secretary and the home minister (in India),"
PCB executive committee Chairman Najam Sethi told reporters.
"The team is
completely ready and hopefully they will fly to Dubai tonight and then from
there will leave straight for India," Sethi added.
Earlier, Najam
Sethi, told media that the board had received Thursday night assurances from
the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Cricket Control in
India (BCCI) for give the Pakistan team a full security.
He publicized the news from his twitter account:
