ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025 Full Schedule Announced, India vs Pakistan On....

The International Cricket Council (ICC), on Monday (June 16), announced the full schedule for the upcoming ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025.

The marquee event is scheduled to be played from September 30 to November 2 in India and Sri Lanka. While India have the hosting rights for the entire tournament, Sri Lanka have been picked as the neutral venue to host the games involving Pakistan. Pakistan will not travel to India due to the political tension between the two countries.

Earlier this year, India had also refused to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy and played all of their games in the UAE. India will be hosting the Women's ODI World Cup for the fourth time and first time since 2013.
