Actually, the Champions Trophy 2025 can be hosted in the February and March window and this is the reason why the Pakistan Cricket Board will have to shift the PSL by 1 month. At the same time, the Indian Premier League 2025 season will be played in India. The Pakistan Cricket Board also has no other option but to shift the PSL by 1 month. This is because after this the Pakistan team has to play many important matches in international cricket. This includes a two-match Test series against the West Indies at home and then the team can be seen playing an ODI series against New Zealand. If the PCB organizes the Pakistan Super League in the month of April, then it will have to take important decisions regarding the availability of their top foreign players as well as sponsorship deals and viewership. A meeting of officials was held in May regarding all these important issues but the final decision is yet to be taken. Not only this, the Pakistani board is also planning to change the retention rule. According to the new guidelines, all the teams will also have the opportunity to select domestic players from the three newly introduced elite tournaments also known as Champions Tournament. PCB will have to take a big decision regarding the schedule of Pakistan Super League 2025 Talking about the Indian Premier League, it is one of the best franchise league tournaments in the world. There are many cricketers from all over the world who want to take part in this great tournament. Not only this, there are many former Pakistani players who praise this tournament. There are many players in the Indian Premier League tournament so far who have left their mark and have also performed well in international cricket. It is now very important for the PCB to take an important decision regarding the upcoming season of the Pakistan Super League. It can be said that if the schedules of these two tournaments clash, then the Pakistan Cricket Board can suffer a lot of losses. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

(Photo Source: YouTube) Former player Salman Butt believes that the Pakistan Cricket Board and other players are not giving as much priority to the Test format as they are giving to the other two formats. Let us tell you, Pakistan now has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh and after that the team will play a three-match Test series against England. Cricket Pakistani journalist questioned Salman Butt on the fact that the team has many spin options in the Test format who can perform well but despite that they are not being given a chance. On this, the former player has strongly criticized the other players and said that they are not playing matches regularly in domestic cricket and this is a very wrong thing. Salman Butt said, ‘Should we give priority to Test cricket? Why are we so worried about the combination all of a sudden? We just don’t want to play this format. Our players are not playing first class cricket consistently. Our cricket board is the only one in the world that is saying that we should play two T20 matches instead of one Test match.’ According to Salman Butt, present-day Pakistani players are not giving much importance to Test cricket and are more focused on white ball cricket. The former player also slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board over Babar Azam’s captaincy Salman Butt said about Babar Azam’s captaincy, ‘He is not a born leader. But the problem is what contribution have you made that has made things even easier? You included those two players in the team who criticized you fiercely on TV. After this the board changed its captain and then after two series you brought Babar Azam back to the role of captain. You yourself are dividing the team into different parts.’ Let us tell you, the performance of the Pakistan team was very poor in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and it failed to make it to the Super 8. Babar Azam’s captaincy was also criticized by many people and he also batted very poorly. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Akram has worked a lot with Pakistan cricket in the past Wasim Akram (Photo Source: After Pakistan’s humiliating defeat against India in the ICC T20 World Cup in New York in June this year, former Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram was seen strongly criticizing the team. In his statement, Akram had sharply criticized the Pakistan cricket team and said that now the time has come for big changes in Pakistan cricket. However, now when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has offered the post of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to the legendary cricketer regarding these changes, he has rejected it citing family commitments. According to some media reports of Cricket Pakistan, the former cricketer was offered the post of CEO or Chief Advisor of Pakistan Cricket by the Pakistan Cricket Board, but he has rejected it due to personal reasons. It is worth noting that Wasim currently lives in Lahore district of Pakistan, but he often visits Australia. On the other hand, after Akram rejected this post, PCB has offered this post to former Pakistani fast bowler and coach Waqar Younis, who lives in Australia. Younis has also shown interest in this post. Now it will be interesting to see how long it takes for PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi to bring Waqar Younis back to Pakistan cricket? A look at Wasim Akram’s cricket career If we give you information about Wasim Akram’s cricket career, then in his 19-year cricket career, he has played 104 Test and 356 ODI matches for the Pakistan cricket team.

So Younis has been seen meeting Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi regarding his role in the board. Also, if everything goes well, Younis will be seen working in a big role with the board at the beginning of next month. This role of Younis in the Pakistan Cricket Board will be similar to the one that Robert Key is currently playing in the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). If ESPN Cricinfo is to be believed, Mohsin Naqvi can hand over the responsibility of all cricket related matters of the board to Younis, such as selection and high performance along with other matters. A look at Waqar Younis’ cricket career On the other hand, if we talk about Waqar Younis’s cricket career, then in his 15-year cricket career with the Pakistan cricket team, he has played 87 Test and 262 ODI matches for the Pak team.

After this, Pakistan will be seen hosting the England cricket team in a three-match Test series.

There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025: Khalid Mahmood
Khalid Mahmood said that if this happens then Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Khalid Mahmood believes that India will hardly send its team to his country Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Let us tell you, for some time now, India has completely refused to tour Pakistan due to political reasons. Khalid Mahmood believes that the ICC will definitely listen to the Board of Control for Cricket in India and other Asian teams like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025 if India refuses to come here. He said that if this happens, the Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. According to Cricket Pakistan, Khalid Mahmood said, “There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan. India is the richest cricket board. If they do not send their team to Pakistan, then I do not think Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also tour here.” Khalid Mahmood gave important advice to Pakistan Cricket Board Khalid Mahmood further said, ‘At this stage, the only thing you can do is to bring the rest of the boards to your side. The ICC will not ignore India’s demands and if this happens, it will not be right for Pakistan to make tit-for-tat plans. If India says that it will play matches outside Pakistan, then ICC events will not be hosted in their country. Due to this, the Pakistan Cricket Board may also have to face a lot of problems.’ For a long time, it has been seen that India has not participated in any of the matches of ICC events held in Pakistan and has appealed for another venue for its matches. So far it can be said that all the matches of Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan only, but India has also agreed to the fact that they will not go to Pakistan to play the matches of Champions Trophy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Salman Butt gave a big statement Let us tell you that Salman Butt, on this issue, quoted Cricket Pakistan on a local sports channel as saying- If the Pakistan Cricket Management feels that Shaheen is not following the set plans, and is doing so deliberately, then the PCB should take action against him. If he is not disciplined, then he should be removed, and some other player should get a place in the team. Butt further said- If you (PCB) gave him a full chance despite all these issues and are now complaining, then I think anyone can do this. What is the point of appointing big names with such high salaries. The job of the management is not to complain but to take action. On the other hand, let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi was leading the Pakistan cricket team in T20 cricket, but before the T20 World Cup, he was removed from the captaincy in a very dramatic manner.

In such a situation, now the PCB has placed a big condition. The PCB said that if India refuses to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy next year citing security reasons, then the BCCI will have to submit documentary evidence that the Indian government has refused permission. The ICC’s annual meeting will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on July 19. The Indian team’s proposal for a hybrid model will be discussed in this meeting. At the same time, the PCB will reject the proposed hybrid model for the Champions Trophy and will insist that the matches be played in Pakistan only.
