pakistan cricket team players
The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be held in Pakistan this time. It seems very difficult for the Indian team to travel there for this. There has been no talk between BCCI and PCB about this so far. Team India last visited Pakistan in the year 2008. Since then, due to the ongoing political tension between the two countries, India has not visited Pakistan even once. PCB tried many times to get India to play cricket in Pakistan, but India did not change its stand even once. During the Asia Cup played in the year 2023, Team India played all its matches in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, a Pakistani all-rounder has requested the Indian team to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.
Pakistani cricketer’s request
Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik has invited the Indian cricket team to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025. Malik believes that politics should be kept separate from sports and stressed on the same issue and suggested that any bilateral issue between India and Pakistan should be resolved separately from their cricket related programs.
what did malik say
Malik told Cricket Pakistan that whatever differences there are between the two countries is a separate issue and should be resolved separately. Politics should not come into sports. Last year the Pakistan team went to India and now it is a good opportunity for the Indian team as well. I think there are many players in the Indian team who have not played in Pakistan, so it will be very good for them. We are very nice people. We are very hospitable people, so I am sure the Indian team should definitely come.
Will Team India tour Pakistan?
Before the start of the Champions Trophy, there are reports that the Indian cricket team is not agreeing to tour Pakistan for the tournament. The reason behind this is the tense relationship between the two countries in the last few years. It is believed that the BCCI may demand to reschedule its matches during the Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka or Dubai. Although India has not played any bilateral series with Pakistan for a long time, but both countries have been playing continuously in ICC tournaments and Asia Cup. In such a situation, now ICC will also have a big responsibility as to how this tournament will be organized despite the ongoing tension between the two countries.
