The dispute between India and Pakistan regarding Champions Trophy 2025 is deepening. The controversy began when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) informed the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the Indian team would not tour Pakistan due to security concerns. In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made it clear that they would not accept the hybrid model and would stand by their right to host the tournament.
Shoaib Akhtar gave a big statement
Responding to this issue, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said, “India and Pakistan should talk behind the scenes. We must remain hopeful. It is true that 95-98 percent of ICC sponsorship comes from India.” In such a situation, some solution will definitely be found.”
India’s tour of Pakistan depends on the government
Shoaib Akhtar also said, “It all depends on the governments, it has nothing to do with BCCI. Virat Kohli wants to play in Pakistan for the first time. Pakistanis also want to see Virat playing in their country. If Virat scores a century here. This will be one of the highlights of his career. This will be a special moment. Pakistan has always had the tag of not being able to host a major tournament, if it is the Champions Trophy, it will open the way for bigger events. It is unlikely, but fingers crossed.
ICC proposed a hybrid model to Pakistan
Meanwhile, according to sources, continuous talks are going on between ICC and PCB and the schedule of the tournament can be finalized by the end of this week. ICC is continuously talking to Pakistan Cricket regarding this tournament. Apart from this, ICC has once again offered a hybrid model to PCB. ICC has even said that no ICC tournament is possible without Team India. Its PCB has also been banned for making statements against India
