Champions Trophy 2025: There is a cold war going on between BCCI and PCB regarding the ICC Champions Trophy at this time. It has not been decided yet whether the Indian cricket team will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. Let us tell you, the Champions Trophy 2025 is to be held in Pakistan in February next year. The BCCI is not in favor of sending Team India to Pakistan citing security concerns. The BCCI wants the Champions Trophy to be organized in a hybrid model like the Asia Cup 2022. At the same time, the Pakistan Cricket Board is trying its best to host all the matches of the Champions Trophy.
Meanwhile, a big statement has come from former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali in which he has asked the PCB to ensure the safety of the players. Former cricketer Basit Ali believes that the PCB should guarantee that there will be no security problem as this can have a big impact on Pakistan, the host of the Champions Trophy.
Big teams will tour Pakistan
Pakistan will play a two-match home Test series with Bangladesh this month. They will also host England and West Indies before the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, the neighbouring country will not want to be negligent in the security of the players. Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel, “Since the Champions Trophy is to be held in Pakistan and after Bangladesh, teams like England and West Indies are also going to tour, so we should pay attention to security. God forbid, if any incident happens during these tours then the Champions Trophy will not be played here. Our soldiers are being martyred in Balochistan and Peshawar. Why is this happening, only the government can answer this, but this is wrong.”
The Champions Trophy will be the first ICC event to be held in Pakistan since the 1996 ODI World Cup, which Pakistan hosted along with India and Sri Lanka. Pakistan was banned from hosting international matches after the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009. For many years, Pakistan had to play its matches in the UAE. Time passed and international cricket returned to Pakistan once again.
