Pakistan has not hosted any major ICC event since the 1996 ODI World Cup. Pakistan co-hosted the 2011 ODI World Cup, but after the Sri Lankan team was attacked by terrorists in 2009, Pakistan was stripped of the hosting rights and the tournament was played in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Now after a long time, ICC Champions Trophy is going to be organized in Pakistan next year. There is doubt whether Team India will participate in this or not. Now the statement of Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has come out in this regard.
Mohsin Naqvi said a big thing about Team India
Naqvi is confident that the Indian men's cricket team will come to Pakistan to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy next year. The 8-team tournament will begin on February 19 and the final will be held on March 9. Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi are to host all the matches of the tournament.
Haven't visited India since 2008
Let us tell you that due to strained political relations between the two countries, India has not toured Pakistan since July 2008, but still PCB chief Naqvi is confident that India will end the long wait and play in Pakistan next year. Champions Trophy will come to Pakistan.
I have full expectations from the Indian team: Naqvi
Speaking to journalists in Lahore, he said, 'I have full expectations from the Indian team. There is nothing right now that would cause them to be postponed or cancelled. Team India will come to Pakistan to play Champions Trophy next year. The Asia Cup was played in Pakistan last year, where the tournament was played in a hybrid model when Team India did not go to Pakistan. Here India played all its matches in Sri Lanka.
