Will hosting rights be taken away from Pakistan? Answer received from ICC | News India

This time Pakistan will host the ICC Champions Trophy. Will the Indian cricket team go to Pakistan to participate in this tournament organized after 8 years or not? Its status has not been clarified yet. Team India has not visited Pakistan for a long time due to security reasons. During this time, all the matches played in Pakistan were played in some other country as a hybrid model. In such a situation, questions are arising whether the hosting can be taken away from Pakistan due to security reasons or under which model will India play the matches. The answer to this has been given by the CEO of ICC himself.

What did the ICC CEO say?

Commenting on this matter, ICC CEO Geoff Allardice said that at present there is no plan to shift the Champions Trophy from Pakistan. So far no team has shown reluctance to go to Pakistan to participate in the tournament. In such a situation, there is no reason to shift this tournament from Pakistan.

Will the Indian team go to Pakistan?

There has been no official statement from the BCCI or the Government of India yet on whether Team India will go to Pakistan to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy. It is believed that Team India will participate in this tournament on a hybrid model, but no information has been revealed about this yet.

PCB is confident

The Pakistan Cricket Board is confident that Team India will go to Pakistan to play in this tournament. The PCB says that except the Indian cricket team, all the teams participating in this tournament have already visited their country. There is no solid reason why India should not play in this tournament.

Cricket teams from India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan will participate in the Champions Trophy. All the matches of this tournament proposed in February-March 2025 will be played in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore.
