The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in Pakistan in 2025, but there has been no official announcement on whether Team India will travel there for the tournament. Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Team India will not go to play in Pakistan. What happens if you don’t play against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy? The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a statement in this regard. If the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially refuses to send their team to Pakistan to play the ICC Champions Trophy, the PCB will consider options, a PCB source said. In fact, a recent report said that India will not travel to Pakistan for the tournament, which is scheduled to be held in the neighboring country next year.
PCB sources told news agency IANS, ‘PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has already said that Pakistan is ready to play a bilateral series with India at a neutral venue if India agrees to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year’.
The source said, ‘Based on Rohit Sharma’s statement and BCCI sources, it is clear that even if the players are willing, the Indian political leadership is not willing to do so. As a result, even if both the teams want to play this bilateral series at their home ground, it is not happening.
