Cricket: Sri Lankan city of Colombo added as a neutral venue for the Women’s World Cup

# Cricket: The International Cricket Council has confirmed that the Women’s 50-over World Cup, scheduled for later this year, will be held at five venues across India and Sri Lanka. India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the men’s Champions Trophy earlier this year prompted the ICC to introduce neutral venues to tournaments hosted by either nation. The tournament will be played in the Indian cities of Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore, and Visakhapatnam, and the Sri Lankan city of Colombo, a neutral venue where Pakistan will play all their group games.
