Aakash Chopra on ICC Champions Trophy 2025: BCCI has made it clear to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that the Indian cricket team will not play any Champions Trophy match in Pakistan. Meanwhile, former cricketer Aakash Chopra has claimed that the Champions Trophy will not be played without the Indian team. Aakash Chopra has given the reason for this and claimed that if India does not participate in this tournament, it will cause terrible loss to ICC and PCB will also become its victim.
Why will the Champions Trophy not be played without India?
On the issue of Champions Trophy, Aakash Chopra said, 'The decision of not playing Pakistan is taken not by BCCI but by the government. This is an ICC event. Broadcasters pay for it. They will get money only when India plays there. ICC will suffer a lot. It is not possible to earn money without India. It is also possible that ICC stops funding. How can you stop Indian money from going to India? Pakistan does not have this facility. Champions Trophy cannot happen without India. Pakistan also knows this from within. He is just trying to entertain people.
PCB will take this step!
PCB could not digest this decision of BCCI. PCB is shouting that if the Indian team does not come to Pakistan then it will not get good results in future. Meanwhile, news is coming from Pakistani media that PCB will soon write a letter to ICC asking for written reason for the Indian cricket team not coming to Pakistan. And he will write a similar letter to BCCI also.
