Champions Trophy 2025: ICC seeks written response from BCCI on refusal to travel to Pakistan, read big news
BCCI has refused to play in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. India not to travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to play in Pakistan for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament. Due to the ongoing bad political relations between the two countries, the board has decided to take this step. However, now news is coming that the International Cricket Council (ICC), the biggest cricket body, has sought a written explanation from BCCI regarding not traveling to Pakistan in the upcoming tournament. So if the official source is to be believed, then the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had asked for a copy of the official reply of the Indian Board regarding the refusal to travel to its neighboring country. However, BCCI has so far only verbally informed the ICC about its decision. Till now BCCI has not submitted any written reply to ICC. The reason behind PCB seeking a copy of the response received from BCCI is to facilitate it in seeking sufficient evidence from India to justify its call of not playing the tournament if it is held in Pakistan. According to the tournament rules, the BCCI will have to give solid reasons for refusing to play in Pakistan, which will then be reviewed by the ICC for a final decision. South Africa kept on standby Also, for your information, let us tell you that after BCCI refused to play in Pakistan, the hybrid model proposed by ICC has been rejected by the Pakistan Cricket Board. According to this model, India can play its matches in a neutral venue like UAE or Sri Lanka. But if PCB does not accept the hybrid model then ICC can shift the tournament to South Africa. South Africa has currently been kept on standby. It will be worth watching that where and when will the tournament, which is returning after almost 9 years, be played?

BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”

Some snippets from Team India’s net session at the WACA today. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/XgzhsHzeHX —Chloe-Amanda Bailey (@ChloeAmandaB) November 14, 2024 This Border-Gavaskar Trophy is very important for Team India The first Test match of the BGT series is to be played from November 22 and Team India reached Australia about two weeks before the start of this Test series. Team India recently had to face a 0-3 clean sweep in the home test series against New Zealand, after which this test series has become more important for the Indian team. In fact, if Team India has to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship, then it will have to win this series by at least a margin of 4-0, after which it will reach the final without depending on any other team. In such a situation, Team India will have to win this series at any cost and for this it will be very important for Virat Kohli to perform well.

Isaac said the main objective of creating a fast-paced pitch was to replicate last year’s scenes. Australia is preparing a dangerous pitch for the Perth test match Notably, during the West Indies series, Perth’s pitches were under question due to lifeless decks and Isaac provided bounce and fast pace in the subsequent series against Pakistan. Isaac McDonald was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, “This is Australia, this is Perth… I am preparing the pitch for really good pace, really good bounce and really good carry.” According to a report in The West Australian, the WACA stadium is currently in lockdown, which is reminiscent of the time when the Indian team reached Perth during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Its boundaries were covered with nets and closed to the public and apart from this, even the stadium staff were not allowed to use phones inside.
