Rashid has warned that if India is out of the tournament, it will have to face consequences. IND vs PAK (Photo Source: Twitter) Champions Trophy 2025: Former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif said that if India does not participate in the Champions Trophy 2025 to be hosted by Pakistan, then the International Cricket Council (ICC) will have to answer for it. Rashid has warned that if India is out of the tournament then it will have to face the consequences. It is noteworthy that India did not play in the Asia Cup hosted by Pakistan last year, where all the matches of Team India were played in Sri Lanka. There are reports that India is demanding similar matches in next year’s ICC Champions Trophy, due to which the statements of former players of Pakistan are coming. Rashid Latif threatened India 55 year old Rashid Latif Said about India not coming to Pakistan, “India may decline bilateral series with Pakistan, but it is impossible for them not to participate in ICC matches. Pakistan played the ODI World Cup hosted by India. In such a situation, if the Indian team is out of the ICC tournament, they will have to face serious consequences. Recently there were reports that the venue of the tournament is being changed, for which there is also talk of implementing a hybrid model. Meanwhile, if India goes to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, their matches will still be played in Lahore. The idea of holding the matches in Lahore is that Indian fans can easily access the fields to watch the matches through Wagah Border. Apart from this, the final match will also be held in Lahore. Pakistan has made special arrangements for India Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy next year and This tournament will be organized in February 2025. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had recently said that all the matches of the Indian team in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in the same stadium i.e. Lahore so that the team does not face any problem. The Champions Trophy will be a 50-over match in which eight teams will participate. At present, the schedule of Champions Trophy has not been released yet. The Pakistan board is planning to host the tournament in stadiums in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
PCB’s bullying, Pakistan wants to match IPL, is planning something like this
IPL and PSL trophy. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI and Twitter) The 10th season of Pakistan Super League is going to see a change in the schedule compared to the previous editions. Since the tournament’s inception in 2016, the tournament has been held in February and March, but 2020 and 2021 were the seasons where the tournament was played at different times due to the Corona pandemic. But when PSL will be played next year, it will clash with IPL. Actually, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to advance its T-20 league PSL a little. IPL is organized in April-May. Pakistan is also planning something similar, because in 2025, Pakistan has to host the ICC Champions Trophy, which can be played in February-March. This is the reason why Pakistan is being forced to advance its T-20 league a bit. The 10th season of PSL can be organized from April 7 to May 20. Although the full schedule for the Pakistan-hosted ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has not been announced, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently held a meeting with stakeholders from six franchises to discuss the PSL 10 window. It was decided that this tournament will be played between 7 April and 20 May. According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, if permission is granted, PSL 2025 will be organized in April-May. Apart from this, PCB has also planned to make this change that the PSL playoff matches will be played at neutral venues, in which the matches can be played in England. Franchises may be allowed to spend money in addition to the salary cap on their marquee players. Some teams are accepting this plan. In such a situation, there is a possibility that these changes may be seen in PSL from the next season. If this happens, it will cause difficulty for foreign players who play in both the leagues. These include dozens of cricketers. It will be difficult for them to choose one league between PSL and IPL. However, it is expected that most players will choose the Indian Premier League over the Pakistan Super League.

Pakistan Board has appointed Gary Kirsten as the head coach of white ball cricket just before the mega tournament, about which discussions are going on continuously.

The problem that has always arisen in Pakistan is that of time – Rashid Latif Rashid Latif says that Gary Kirsten has been a successful coach for India. But if Pakistan’s performance in the T20 World Cup remains disappointing, then the board will hold Babar Azam or Gary Kirsten responsible for it. While talking on NDTV Sports he said, ‘Gary Kirsten has been a successful coach for India and also in franchise cricket. But the timing (of his appointment) is wrong, the problem that has always arisen in Pakistan is timing. This is off the top of my head… Next month we are going to the World Cup, and before that we are playing 7 matches. If they lose, the board will blame Kirsten or Babar Azam. Rashid Latif also emphasized that 6-8 months before the start of any big tournament, you should know which 12-13 players will play, who will be the coach and who will be the captain. he adds, ‘Today, if I know that this is my head coach, this is my captain and this is my selection committee… like it happens in Australia, India, England that they know that these are our 12-13 fixed players and this is my coach. Yes, you should have known all this 6-8 months or a year ago.

(Image Source: ACC/X) It is not known whether Team India will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. But it is certain that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will host this tournament. Three venues have been finalized for next year’s tournament. Pakistan Cricket Board said that tournament matches will be organized in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Along with this, PCB has also sent the schedule of Champions Trophy matches to ICC. Recently, a security team of the ICC Board has come to Pakistan and also took stock of the arrangements. On this, PCB Chairman Mohis Naqvi said, “We are confident that the tournament will be conducted smoothly. India has not yet finalized its participation in the event, which is expected to be held in February-March next year. Since India had refused to play in the Pakistan-hosted Asia Cup last year, some matches were held in Pakistan and some in Sri Lanka in a ‘hybrid model’. But this time Pakistan is insisting on organizing all the matches in the Champions Trophy.” All India’s matches in the Champions Trophy will be played in Lahore! Although it is still uncertain whether India will travel to Pakistan or not, given the tensions between the two countries and the precedent of India not traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup last year, the PCB has, after much consideration, decided against hosting India’s games. Lahore Stadium has been chosen for this. The thinking behind this is that Lahore is on the India and Pakistan border. In such a situation, fans will be allowed to cross the Wagah Border and come to Pakistan to watch their team’s match without any difficulty. Also, the organizers wanted to ensure that the Indian team did not have to travel much to Pakistan to play matches. They will stay in only one city and avoid travel hassles. That’s why he chose Lahore Stadium.

Big update: Team India will not tour Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025
Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement regarding India-Pakistan cricket relations. He said that if Team India tours Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, they will consider a bilateral series with India. In 2021, Pakistan was named as the host of the Champions. Next year’s Champions Trophy is one of the biggest tournaments to be held in that country. This will be the first time that Pakistan will host an ICC tournament in its entirety since the 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan national cricket team. According to sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Team India may refuse to go to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy. He has also said that changing the venue for this tournament or implementing a hybrid model can also be considered. The source also said that it is important to obtain permission from the government to visit Pakistan, and given the current tense relations between the two countries, it may be difficult to get permission. Team India will not go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 A BCCI source was quoted by NDTV as saying, “Forget bilateral series… Team India cannot even tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. The venue may change, so a hybrid model is also possible. The Indian board will need permission from the government to tour, currently our relations with Pakistan are also not that good. Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it will be a difficult decision for India, but without the government’s order/green signal, I don’t see it happening in the near future, it’s impossible. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012–13. India had refused to go to Pakistan to participate in the Asia Cup in 2023. As a result, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) adopted a hybrid model for the event, with Sri Lanka co-hosting with Pakistan. India and Pakistan last faced each other in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
