Pak women team's preparation for World Cup in full swing

"Obviously keeping in mind our preparations we would like to play in India but as far as question of where the World Cup will be held eventually that is a matter for the ICC and boards," Pakistan captain, Sana Mir said.

"As far as we are concerned we just want to play in the event as it is a big event in our women's cricket," she added.

The Pakistani players have been training in Lahore and getting the best assistance and guidance from former captain Javed Miandad and the national senior men's team head coach Dav Whatmore.

"Whatmore was with us today and delivered a very educative and helpful lecture today which will help us a lot in our preparations," Mir said.

"We are going through our training with great focus because we want to leave an imprint in this World Cup," team manager, Ayesha Ashar said.

"Hopefully the PCB will resolve things soon."

The Pakistan Cricket Board has already asked the ICC to look into the possibility of shifting the matches of their team from Mumbai to some other venue because of security concerns following the escalation of tensions because of ceasefire violations by Pakistan. MORE
