ICC may release Champions Trophy schedule this week amid ongoing tussle between PCB-BCCI: Reports
ICC may release the schedule of 2025 Champions Trophy this week. India not to travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy Amidst the ongoing war between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BBCI) over playing matches in Pakistan, the International Cricket Council is likely to release the cricketing schedule of the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 this week. If Hindustan Times report regarding the new development of the tournament is to be believed, the ICC is finalizing discussions with the participating member countries and the host country regarding the tournament schedule. However, the decision by the PCB to include the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir region in the probable schedule of the Champions Trophy tour has sparked controversy and has raised objections from BCCI to ICC. Our stand is very clear: Mohsin Naqvi Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi said in a conversation with journalists – We will achieve the target and will achieve the Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan. All the teams (except India) that have qualified for the Champions Trophy are ready to come to Pakistan and no one has any problem. I would say even today that if India has any concerns, they should talk to us. Naqvi further said- We will solve any kind of problem of them (BCCI). I believe there is no reason why the Indian team cannot come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. You wait and see all the teams will come. Our stand is very clear, we have already told this. We will stick to our stand. ICC has to announce the schedule of the tournament. We are waiting for the schedule to be announced, so that we can start preparing accordingly. As soon as the program is announced, we will start our preparations as soon as possible. On the other hand, for your information, let us tell you that some reports had come out quoting Pakistani media. It was said in these reports that if ICC considers organizing the tournament outside Pakistan under the hybrid model, PCB can boycott it completely.
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?

(@CricCrazyJohns) November 15, 2024 Organizing of Champions Trophy in Pakistan is in trouble Let us tell you that since the Mumbai terrorist attack in 2008, Team India has not gone to play any match or series in Pakistan. Apart from this, no bilateral series has been played between the two teams for more than a decade. They are seen playing against each other only in ICC and ACC events. On the other hand, Pakistan is going to organize an ICC tournament for the first time in 29 years. But due to India’s stance it is still delayed. Veterans say that a solution should be found regarding hosting, otherwise the event may be in trouble. Now it remains to be seen whether the Pakistan Cricket Board remains firm on its decision or adopts some flexibility.
