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.

‘He was number 1 in our list’, Venky Mysore explains the reason for Shreyas Iyer’s release

KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Venky Mysore and Shreyas Iyer Kolkata Knight Riders have released their captain Shreyas Iyer ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Iyer joined KKR in 2022 for Rs 12.25 crore and was made the captain.

He also said that every player has complete freedom to go to the auction, so that they can earn more money. Venky Mysore told RevSportz, it is a matter of mutual consent. This is not a unilateral right of any franchisee. Players have to consider and agree on various factors. Somewhere, that agreement does not happen due to various factors – be it money or any other reason. He was at number-1 in our list. He was the captain, so everything has to be built around leadership. In the end people have the freedom to take their own decisions – Venky Mysore He further said that, we had selected him in 2022 and unfortunately he got injured in 2023. But as soon as he arrived, he was handed back the captaincy. We made it clear that when you come back, this will be your team. He was an integral part of the team and did a wonderful job. I have a personal relationship with him, but at the end of the day people have the freedom to take their own decisions. They decide what is good for them and which direction to go. Market value is also an important aspect. Let us tell you that on Thursday, October 31, KKR announced the retained players, in which KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Sunil Narayan, Varun Chakraborty, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh for IPL 2025.

However, if you look at a player like Bumrah and his value and then Hardik in the market, it will be a difficult task.”
