According to Aakash Chopra, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has no role in this. Not only this, the former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Let us tell you that Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in February next year. According to the report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made it clear to the International Cricket Council that they will not tour Pakistan to participate in the upcoming event. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It has been decided that Team India will not go to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament and this is not the decision of BCCI. I want to make it clear that when it comes to Pakistan, the Indian cricket team does not decide when and where to go. It is fine for other places. However, when it comes to Pakistan, all decisions are taken by the Indian government, not the BCCI. Pakistan itself is to blame for this: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘The Indian government has decided that he will not go there. In a way, Pakistan itself is responsible for this. Just yesterday I was watching a news that there was a bomb blast in Quetta railway station. Whenever we talk about India, Pakistan comes into it, especially when the issue of Kashmir is concerned. Pakistan has completely refused the hybrid model of Championship 2025. They want that this entire tournament should be organized in Pakistan only and India does not want to tour there for this event. This is the truth and now it will be exciting to see how this tournament is organized.

Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.
