Shock to PCB, ECB bans players from participating in PSL, but gives green signal to IPL

PCB has suffered a major blow as the ECB has barred England cricketers from participating in the Pakistan Super League. PSL (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has given a big blow to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Let us tell you that the ECB has banned contracted players from participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) during its domestic season. However, the players have received the green signal to play IPL. On the other hand, if we tell you about this new policy of ECB, it will be seen preventing contracted players from participating in foreign cricket leagues during England’s domestic cricket. After this, there is a possibility that English players may not be seen playing in other T20 leagues including Pakistan Super League, Sri Lanka Premier League during the domestic cricket season. The main reason behind this decision of ECB is to maintain the quality of domestic cricket tournaments like County Championship, Vitality Blast and The Hundred. This new policy of ECB prevents English players from participating in two continuously running parallel cricket leagues. Earlier, players could participate in any other event for another team after their team’s exit from a T20 league. However, now it will not be easy for the players to do this. Richard Gould gave a big statement Regarding this new policy, ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould was quoted by NDTV as saying – This policy gives clarity to players and professional counties about our approach to issuing NOC. This will enable us to strike the right balance between supporting players who want to take advantage of the opportunities to earn and gain experience, while also protecting the integrity of cricket globally. It is noteworthy that in the last few years there has been a significant increase in the volume of T20 cricket leagues. Today, almost every country playing Test cricket has its own T20 cricket league. However, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is at the top of all these leagues.

PCB Chief again gave a bold statement, said- It cannot happen that Pakistan goes to India and plays and India does not come here and play.

Champions Trophy: PCB created ruckus by sending a letter to ICC, wrote – “Whether India plays or not, but not hosting…”

PCB has written a letter to ICC asking why India does not want to send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. IND vs PAK (Photo Source: Getty Images) Pakistan Cricket Board is facing a lot of problems at this time. Because India has refused to tour Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. According to reports, if Pakistan does not withdraw from hosting, then the tournament can be played in hybrid model. All India’s matches will be played in Dubai and if the team reaches the final then the match will be held in Dubai. At the same time, if PCB refuses to host the Champions Trophy, then the entire tournament can be held in South Africa. Meanwhile, now another big news is coming out. According to Pakistan media, PCB has written a letter to ICC asking why India does not want to send its team to Pakistan. Pakistan will not give up hosting under any circumstances According to a media report, the source said, BCCI has not given any reason behind its decision of not touring Pakistan, so the next step of PCB to resolve this issue can be taken only after knowing them. The source also said that, in the letter sent by the Pakistan Board to the ICC, it has been clearly stated that whether India plays in the tournament or not, Pakistan will not give up hosting the Champions Trophy under any circumstances. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons. The team last toured Pakistan in 2008. Let us tell you that India had earlier refused to tour Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023, after which the hybrid model was adopted and the team played all the matches in Sri Lanka. India and Pakistan will not be in the same group According to Pakistani media reports, PCB will also talk to ICC about not keeping India and Pakistan in the same group in the Champions Trophy. Let us tell you, in the schedule that has already been prepared, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand have been placed in Group-A. Champions Trophy schedule has not been announced The Champions Trophy is to be played from February 19 to March 9, but the schedule has not been announced yet. India has refused to tour Pakistan. Will the tournament be held in hybrid model or not? If it happens, where will it happen? Or will it be in some other venue? Due to all these things, there is a delay in releasing the schedule.

A new twist has emerged regarding the venue of Champions Trophy 2025, if PCB does not listen to ICC then this country can get hosting.

According to the report, if Pakistan Cricket Board does not agree to the hybrid model, then this entire tournament will be shifted to South Africa. Mohsin Naqvi (Photo Source: Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi wants that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament should be organized in Pakistan only. Mohsin Naqvi has completely ruled out a hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India believes that they will not tour Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. The International Cricket Council has appealed to the PCB itself to agree to the hybrid model so that Team India can play its matches in the United Arab Emirates. According to the report of Sports Tak, if Pakistan Cricket Board does not agree to the hybrid model, then this entire tournament will be shifted to South Africa. On November 10, the Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed that they had received an email from the ICC in which India has been refused permission to tour Pakistan to participate in the upcoming tournament. India will participate in this tournament only if their matches are held outside Pakistan in a hybrid model. Not only this, ICC has also said that Pakistan Cricket Board will get the full hosting fees under the hybrid model and most of the matches will be played there. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement regarding hybrid model Let us tell you that last year the Asia Cup was played in the hybrid model in which Sri Lanka co-hosted the tournament with Pakistan. Recently, former player Basit Ali has said that if the upcoming tournament is played in the hybrid model, then Pakistan should get two points. Pakistan won the last season of the Champions Trophy in 2017 under the captaincy of Sarfaraz Khan. In the final, the team defeated India by 180 runs at Cannington Oval, London. Now it will be very exciting to see where the upcoming tournament will be hosted?

PCB rejected the news of getting Champions Trophy hybrid model, said- people write anything to make news

A PCB source told India Today on Friday, November 8, that Pakistan has not considered a hybrid model and is keen to host the entire tournament across three venues – Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. This clarification comes at a time when there is speculation that the International Cricket Council will announce the Champions Trophy schedule on November 11. ICC will soon announce the schedule of Champions Trophy Reports claim that the ICC will announce the schedule of the eight-team tournament without confirming the venue. PCB source said that, “Hybrid model is not under consideration. People write anything claiming to have XYZ sources. People write anything just to get some ideas. As of now, we have not decided anything about this. Our stand remains the same.” Pakistan previously hosted the Asia Cup in 2023 in a hybrid model, through which India played its games in Sri Lanka. The final was also played in Sri Lanka. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not stated its stand on the senior men’s team going to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. BCCI will remain in touch with the Government of India for this. According to the provisional schedule proposed by the PCB, the Champions Trophy match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is to be held in Lahore on March 1 next year. The tournament will start on 19 February 2025 with the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The final will be held on March 9 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. According to the temporary schedule, all India’s matches have been held in Lahore due to security and logistical reasons.
