The Bengaluru stadium where 11 cricket fans died during celebrations in June will no longer host the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup matches including the opening game, the sport’s governing body said on Friday.
The 13th edition of the women’s showpiece 50-over tournament will begin on Sept 30. Pakistan is set to play its matches in Sri Lanka following India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy earlier this year, which resulted in a “hybrid model” being decided upon.
