Next year ICC Champions Trophy is to be held in Pakistan. India has refused to go to Pakistan and play. The tension between India and Pakistan regarding Champions Trophy 2025 is not reducing. On one hand the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is adamant on its stubbornness, on the other hand the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is hopeful. Meanwhile, on Monday, PCB President Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement on this issue. He talked about the questions sent to the ICC and made it clear that “his hopes are still intact.” However, let us tell you that no decision has been taken by the ICC on this issue at the moment.
BCCI has clearly refused to send Team India to Pakistan
BCCI has clearly refused to send Team India to Pakistan. After this decision of the BCCI, the matter got heated. PCB has sought clarification on BCCI’s decision through ICC, although PCB has not received the answer yet. Meanwhile, Mohsin Naqvi clarified that “he still hopes for a successful tournament in Pakistan.” According to the report, Mohsin Naqvi, while talking to the media at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, said that “We have sent our questions to the ICC. We are still waiting for their reply. I believe that sports and politics should be kept separate and no country should mix them. I still have positive expectations about the Champions Trophy.“

If India has any concerns, let us know
Meanwhile, while putting forth his point, Mohsin Naqvi further said that “All the teams that have qualified for the Champions Trophy are ready to come to Pakistan. No one has any objection to coming here. I will say again today that if India has any concerns, let us know. We can solve their problems. But I don’t think they have any concrete reason.” Apart from this, Naqvi also said that “For us, the dignity of Pakistan is most important. I think the ICC will have to think deeply about its credibility whether they are an organisation for all countries. That route has been rescheduled.”
If PCB does not agree, the tournament can be shifted outside
However, the ICC has asked the PCB to organise the tournament in a hybrid model. But Pakistan has clearly refused to organise the Champions Trophy in this model. The ICC does not want to organise the tournament without India and Pakistan is not agreeing. It is also being said that if the PCB does not agree to the ICC, the tournament can be shifted outside.
