The PCB had to shorten the National Women’s Championship in Karachi on Monday after five players narrowly avoided harm in a fire incident at the team hotel.
“Fortunately, no players were injured, as the PCB promptly evacuated the five players in the hotel at the time of the incident and relocated them safely to the Hanif Mohammad High-Performance Centre,” the PCB stated.
The PCB attempted to arrange alternative accommodations for the teams but was unable to do so due to the Ideas Defence Exhibition taking place in Karachi. The board explained that the decision to cut the tournament short was made with player health and safety as the top priority.
“Additionally, the unavailability of alternative accommodations to meet the approximately 100 rooms of the required standards contributed to this outcome,” the PCB statement added.
To decide the tournament champion, the PCB announced that the Invincibles and the Stars, the top two teams after four matches each, will play in the final, with the date and venue to be announced later.
