After BCCI raised security concerns of Pakistans World Cup women cricket team over the recent Indo-Pak tension at the LoC, top BCCI sources have told TIMES NOW that all state associations are reluctant to host Pakistan's matches. Sources have said that the security of the women's team can not be guaranteed due to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. The eight-team Women's World Cup is scheduled to be held in Mumbai between January 31 and February 17 but there are concerns that there might be protests, leading to trouble. Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, Bandra-Kurla Complex ground and the MIG Club in Bandra are the venues for the Women's World Cup matches in Mumbai. Earlier, nine hockey players of Hockey India League were returned home following protests of Shiv Sena and other right-wing organisations in the wake of killing of two Indian soldiers by Pakistan.
