Whether Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan or not, decision today: ICC board meeting continues in Dubai, India has refused to go there

Champions Trophy may start in February 2025.

The decision on whether the Champions Trophy to be held in February next year will be held in Pakistan or not can be taken today. For this, ICC’s meeting with all the boards is going on in Dubai.

After Pakistan got the opportunity to host the Champions Trophy, India had refused to go there citing security reasons. Then it was believed that like the Asia Cup, the Champions Trophy will also be held on a hybrid model.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had earlier proposed to hold all the Indian matches in Lahore and send the players to India after the match. When India did not accept this, the (PCB) also refused for the hybrid model.

ICC can propose a hybrid model in the meeting, if PCB does not accept it then it may lose the hosting rights. There is little chance of pressurizing India to go to Pakistan and play. The Indian team has not gone to Pakistan since the Mumbai attacks in 2008.

If PCB doesn’t agree then India is ready for the tournament The government has even said that if the Pakistan Cricket Board refuses to organize the Champions Trophy, then India will host it. If ICC hands over hosting rights to India, it will get full support from the government. Not only this, the players of the teams coming to India to play the Champions Trophy will not face any problem in getting visas.

PCB will never agree to hybrid model Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that we will never accept conducting the tournament in the hybrid model. ​​For the Champions Trophy, our stand is very clear. We will do whatever is best for Pakistan cricket. It is not completely right that we go to play in India and they do not play here. As long as India continues to refuse to send its team to Pakistan, the Pakistan team will also not travel to India. We have told ICC that whatever happens, it should be on the basis of equality.

I hope Jay Shah will think about ICC: Naqvi Naqvi said on Thursday, Jai Shah is going to take charge in December and I hope that after reaching ICC, he will think about ICC. When anyone reaches such a position, they should only think about the welfare of the committee.

Pakistan renovated the stadium

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is continuously preparing for Champions Trophy 2025. PCB has almost completed the work of all three stadiums. They have spent 12.5 billion Pakistan Rupees on the renovation of Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi stadiums.
