Fire In Team Hotel Forces PCB To Curtail Women's Cricket Championship
Pakistan Cricket Board: Already struggling to maintain its footing women's cricket in Pakistan suffered a setback when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had to stop the National Women's Championship on Monday after a fire outbreak in the hotel where teams have been put up. Five players had a close save after a fire broke out in the hotel spreading panic among players, according to reports in local media.
The report said that the PCB tried to find another accommodation for the teams but they could not find an alternate place for the teams because of a defence exhibition being held in Karachi. The PCB said that the decision to curtail the tournament was taken keeping in mind the safety and health of the players. The Board official informed that all the players were safe and none was injured due to the fire outbreak.
"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," the PCB was quoted as saying in reports.
