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.

‘The world of cricket depends on India-Pakistan match’ Rashid Latif gave bold statement before Champions Trophy
This time the Multination Tournament will be played hosted by Pakistan. Rashid Latif (photo source: twitter) Due to India’s bad political relations against Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to go to Pakistan and play in the Champions Trophy 2025. However, it is not yet clear whether India is participating in the tournament or not? On the other hand, there is a possibility that India, the runners-up of the 2017 season, may play their Champions Trophy matches in some other country under the hybrid model. So amidst these discussions, a big statement of former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif has come out. Latif says that the world of cricket depends on the India-Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) match and irrespective of the venue, both the countries will definitely play against each other. Rashid Latif gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the Champions Trophy, Latif was quoted as saying by Cricblog – As far as the new scenario is concerned, the political environment keeps on being created. Look, both the teams will definitely play, I don’t know where, but both the teams will definitely play against each other. There are a lot of things at stake. Broadcasters have a lot at stake. 3 billion are at stake. So, there is no way they would say that it is not good for India and Pakistan to play against each other. Latif further said- I think Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will also somehow agree and come to a conclusion about where to play and what to do. This is because the world of cricket depends on it. The world of cricket depends on India-Pakistan match. According to my opinion it is going to happen, but I don’t know when, but PCB, ICC and BCCI will definitely plan something. Some people may fool the fans, but they will definitely play.

Take a look at all the venues of BGT 2024-25, see records and stats of each stadium
Optus Cricket Ground (Photo Source: The upcoming edition of the Border-Gavaskar series is scheduled to start from November 22. The rivalry between these two countries is currently at its highest level and is becoming more intense as Australia has not won a single Test series against India for almost the last 10 years. In contrast, India has recently lost to Australia in the World Test Championship final, ODI World Cup final in 2023. Ahead of the marquee series, many Australian players have expressed their desire to perform well in the series against India. For the visitors, it will be difficult, especially after losing the home Test series to New Zealand at the beginning of the month. Additionally, captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are expected to miss the first Test in Perth. Team India is not the favorite in this series. Here’s a look at all the venues of BGT 2024-25 1. Optus Stadium, Perth – November 22-26 India has played one Test in the new stadium in Perth. In that match, star batsman Virat Kohli scored a century but the visiting team lost the match by 146 runs. This time, they are preparing a pitch suited for fast bowlers and a better bowling order will get the advantage here. Meanwhile, the stadium can host around 60,000 spectators and according to reports, the stadium will be full to capacity during the first Test. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (519) Top wicket taker bowler from 2018-19: Nathan Lyon (27) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 456 Australia since 2018: Matches – 4, Won – 4, Lost – 0 2. Adelaide Oval – December 6-10 (Adelaide Oval) When India last played a Test match in Adelaide, India was out for 36 runs. India’s record on this ground is scary. He will definitely be in the minds of the players playing that match. That too because the Adelaide match will be a day-night test. The Rohit Sharma-led side has played very few pink-ball Tests recently and that is a worrying sign. Meanwhile, India have played 13 Test matches at the Adelaide Oval, winning two and losing eight. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (574) Top wicket taker bowler from 2018-19: Mitchell Starc (30) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 375 Australia since 2018: Matches – 6, Won – 5, Lost – 1 3. The Gabba, Brisbane – December 14-18 (The Gabba Brisbane) India broke Australia’s 32-year winning streak at the Gabba in January 2021. Later, West Indies won there too due to the brilliant bowling of Shamar Joseph. Meanwhile, the Gabba is no longer the ‘fortress’ that Australia claimed for years. However, India has played seven matches in this stadium, winning one and losing five. However, the previous win will boost the confidence of the players and they would like to repeat that performance this time too. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (497) Top wicket taker bowler since 2018-19: Pat Cummins (36) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 227 Australia since 2018: Matches –…

BGT: “He is a great player, and is learning…”, former coach Rahul Dravid praised Shubman Gill.
He (Shubman Gill) bats a little differently from me and Pujara – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid & Shubman Gill (Photo Source: The first match of the five-match Test series between Australia and India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to be played in Perth from November 22. Jasprit Bumrah is going to captain India in the absence of Rohit Sharma. What will be the playing 11 of Team India in Perth Test? Fans are very excited to know this. There is pressure among the fans as well as the players regarding this series, because the team had to face 0-3 defeat at home against New Zealand in the last Test series. Meanwhile, former Indian coach Rahul Dravid says that if two of India’s top-4 batsmen score runs then the team will have a big chance of victory. He also emphasized that Shubman Gill is an excellent player and he will be seen performing brilliantly at number 3. Shubman Gill is a great player- Rahul Dravid Shubman Gill made his Test debut for India as an opener in BGT 2020-21 against Australia. Gill played two half-century innings in three matches in the debut series. He played a brilliant inning of 91 runs in the Gabba Test, which played a big role in India’s historic run chase (328). India won that series 2-1 Shubman Gill has been seen batting at number 3 in Tests for India since last year. He was seen struggling in the beginning, but his average in 25 innings is 42. Rahul Dravid while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, They have Shubman Gill, who is a fantastic player. Last time he had some great successes in Australia. Everyone talks about Rishabh’s 80 (89) and rightly so, but I think Shubman scored 91 to set up the game on that fifth morning. He’s a great player, he’s a great kid, and he’s learning. He bats a little differently from me and Pujara, but still he is a very, very good player. Gill suffered a thumb injury during practice at the WACA Ground before the Perth Test against Australia. According to reports, he has a fracture in his thumb and he may be out of the first test. Devdutt Padikkal can replace Gill in the playing 11.
