ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The Indian Kabaddi team will not be traveling to Pakistan for the much-anticipated series, a decision that has disappointed fans and officials alike.
The matches, initially scheduled to take place next week in Kartarpur, had also been planned for Lahore and Bahawalpur.
The Secretary of the Pakistan Kabaddi Federation expressed regret over India’s decision, noting the significant preparations made by Pakistan for the matches.
“The decision is disappointing,” he stated, “as we had arranged a dedicated training camp and invested efforts to host an exciting series for fans on both sides.”
The cancellation marks a setback for sporting ties between the two nations, with Pakistani players and fans left anticipating future opportunities to engage in cross-border matches.
It is pertinent to note that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has written a letter to International Cricket Council (ICC) to explain India’s reasons to decline from coming to the Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.
