            Hybrid Model Due to Geopolitical Concerns<\/h3>\n

            Due to India\u2019s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy earlier this year, the ICC has adopted a hybrid model<\/strong> for the Women\u2019s World Cup. According to this model:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              India will play all matches in Dubai<\/strong>, a neutral venue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Pakistan will play at neutral venues<\/strong> for all ICC events hosted by India until 2027.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              This agreement was made as part of a broader compromise to ensure both nations\u2019 participation in international tournaments without political hindrance.<\/p>\n

              ICC\u2019s Commitment to Women\u2019s Cricket<\/h3>\n

              ICC Chairman Jay Shah emphasized the growing popularity and importance of the women\u2019s game. He stated:<\/p>\n

              \n

              \u201cFans have shown great support for the women\u2019s game in recent years, and I am sure they will start planning for these showpiece events now that they have key dates and venues. Women\u2019s cricket stands at the forefront of our vision, and we are confident that these two upcoming tournaments will not only sustain the incredible momentum we\u2019ve built in recent years but lift it to greater heights.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

              Pakistan\u2019s Qualification<\/h3>\n

              Pakistan secured their place in the tournament after defeating Thailand by 87 runs during the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2025 Qualifiers held in Lahore in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
