New Delhi. The PCB has been infuriated ever since India refused to go to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is doing something or the other to remain in the news. In this series, first the cricketers of Pakistan gave anti-India statements. Said that Pakistan should refuse to play with India. Now Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has tried to link the Champions Trophy with Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). Pakistan has said that it will rotate the ICC Champions Trophy trophy to Pakistan.
Pakistan has got the hosting rights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This tournament is to be played in February-March next year. India has refused to send a team to Pakistan due to security reasons. Due to this, the hosting of Champions Trophy itself is in trouble. Pakistan Cricket Board now has only one option to host in hybrid model. That means India’s matches should be in neutral countries and the remaining matches should be in Pakistan. A year ago, the Asia Cup was held in this model, in which India’s matches were played in Sri Lanka.
Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday announced to rotate the Champions Trophy across the country. PCB issued a statement. He said, ‘Pakistan, get ready. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy will be rotated across the country. It will start from Islamabad on 16th November. Later this trophy will also be taken to Skardu, Hunza and Muzaffarabad. Please note that Muzaffarabad is a part of PoK. Pakistan has forcibly occupied these areas of India.
Get ready, Pakistan!
