It seems that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is hoping for a definite assurance on Team India playing at the ICC meeting to be held in Dubai next week. But that is not possible now. The International Cricket Council (ICC) Executive Board meeting will be held in Dubai next week. Naqvi plans to talk to Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Shah as well as top officials of the global body. But the Indian board is not immediately committed to a tour of Pakistan for the February-March 2025 tournament. Because it has a year. š®š³šµš°
On the decision of the Government of India.. š¤
Champions Trophy is an ICC tournament. All other cricket playing countries are going to Pakistan. However, the BCCI has not completely closed the door on the matter. But it seems that there is a possibility of getting a green signal from the Indian government at least a few weeks before the start of the tournament. The PCB is against the hybrid model used last year. The PCB's biggest worry is whether India will send its team to Pakistan, a repeat of last year's Asia Cup woes. š®š³šµš°
According to the BCCI, it seems that only the Indian government can take a decision on playing in Pakistan and the BCCI will have to follow the government's orders. Also, getting permission from the government is very early. š¤š
