The Pakistan Cricket Board had to abruptly halt the National Women’s ODI Championship being held in Karachi after a fire broke out at the team hotel, resulting in a narrow escape for five players. After the fire, there was an uproar in Pakistan. PCB booked the entire floor for the five participating teams and team officials. Most of the players were outside the hotel when the fire broke out. As a result, a major accident was avoided. But this raises big questions about Pakistan’s system.

PCB sources said that all cricketers and officials except five players were at the National Stadium for matches or net training when the fire broke out. There was no damage to the players’ or officials’ property. No players were injured and the PCB immediately evacuated the five players who were in the hotel at the time of the incident and moved them safely to the Hanif Mohammed High Performance Centre.
