PCB is adamant on organizing the tournament in Pakistan only. Meanwhile, according to reports, the ICC has refused to allow the PCB to take the Champions Trophy tour to any disputed part of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Earlier the report claimed that if Pakistan withdraws its name from the tournament or rejects the proposal of hybrid model, then its hosting could be handed over to India.

Meanwhile, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Kohli knows very well what plan the Australian bowlers can make against him. I hope Virat will practice accordingly. Australians will try all those methods – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports, Virat knows what is going to be planned? They will definitely start from the off stump line and see what the mood is? These days he is leaving the balls outside the off stump and will try to drive if the pitch is straight. He also said that, these days, he is trying to attack the body because he likes to play forward. So this is something that New Zealand has tried, which is very smart. And then if he is so focused outside off, there is a particular style of bowling the ball on middle stump, which Josh Hazlewood will try. So Australians will try all those methods and Virat Kohli knows about it. The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first Test, so vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of the team.
