Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan from 19 February to 9 March next year. Whether India will be a part of this tournament or not is still a question mark. The BCCI says that the Indian government will decide whether the team will go to Pakistan or not. Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Danish Kaneria has said that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan as the situation is not conducive. Kaneria also stressed that the safety of the players is the first priority, so the tournament should be held in a hybrid model. Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria, while talking on Sports Tak, said, Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I would say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan and Pakistan should think about it. The ICC will take its decision and most likely the Champions Trophy will be played in Dubai under a hybrid model. Safety of the players is the first priority, respect is the second priority. I think the BCCI is doing a great job. Whatever their decision will be, other countries will also have to accept it. I think it will be a hybrid model. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons. Asia Cup 2023 was jointly held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as India refused to tour Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board cancelled the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Lahore as construction work is going on at the stadium. The match was then played at the Rawalpindi Stadium. The PCB says that the stadium is not equipped enough to hold ICC events. However, Danish Kaneria spoke about the issues and said that security is the biggest threat. They (PCB) are equipped, but they have to upgrade the infrastructure first. Security is the biggest concern, a big question mark…

It is even more insulting that the PCB claims they do not have ‘equipment for surgery’, which is a huge insult to the domestic players. As a Pakistani and a true cricket lover, I cannot support a system in which merit has no value. I refuse to be a part of this failed setup.
