The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet finalised any plans for a victory parade to celebrate the women’s team’s historic ICC World Cup triumph, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told IANS on Monday.

India women ended their year-long title drought and claimed their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title after defeating first-time finalists South Africa in the final by 52 runs. However, celebrations will only be scheduled after senior officials return from the ICC meetings in Dubai, scheduled from 4-7 November.

“Nothing like a victory parade is planned as of now," Saikia was quoted as saying to IANS while speaking from Mumbai airport. “I’m leaving for Dubai to attend the ICC meeting. Several officials are heading there as well, so once we return, we will plan accordingly."
