Harbhajan Singh on Champions Trophy 2025: Former Indian veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh, popularly known as 'Turbinator', has expressed concern over the possibility of Team India going to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Bhajji has blamed the current instability of the security situation in Pakistan for this. Harbhajan's argument is being considered quite appropriate for the current situation in Pakistan.
Harbhajan made it clear that he supports the BCCI's move to seek government approval before finalising the Indian team's participation in the tournament. The BCCI has not yet made any statement in this matter.
Harbhajan Singh said, 'Why should the Indian team go to Pakistan? 'There is concern about security in Pakistan.' Harbhajan said on Thursday – The situation in Pakistan is such that incidents happen almost every day. I don't think it is safe for the team to go there. The attitude of BCCI is absolutely correct and nothing is more important than the safety of our players. I support the stand of BCCI.
5 star hotel in Pakistan for Team India
Pakistan has assured that all the matches of India in this tournament will be played in Lahore and the Indian team will stay in the same hotel during the matches. They also said that keeping the team in one city will lead to more effective and safe arrangements for the visiting team. The Pakistan Cricket Board has recently announced land acquisition for the construction of a 5-star hotel near the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium in Lahore.
According to sources, the PCB is planning to build a hotel and aims to get it ready by early next year. It is expected that the new hotel will meet the requirement of teams staying in remote locations. Meanwhile, there will be no need to close the road for security reasons during the team's passage.
The Indian cricket team refused to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup last year, resulting in the match being held in Sri Lanka. Pakistan and India have not played a bilateral series since 2012, with the Indian government restricting cricket matches between the two countries to ICC or ACC events.
