'If PM Narendra Modi Agrees...': Ex-Pakistan Star's Blockbuster Take On India's Champions Trophy Row

01.09.2024 - 05:46 sports.ndtv.com

The topic of Champions Trophy 2025 is creating new headlines everyday. Pakistan have been chosen as the hosts for the tournament but the question regarding India's participation still remains unanswered.

Due to the political tension between the countries, India and Pakistan are yet to play a bilateral series, since 2013. Later in 2023, India also refused to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup and the tournament had to co-hosted by Sri Lanka.

For the Champions Trophy, Pakistan Cricket Board has refused to accept a hybrid model, which has further complicated the situation.

Recently, BCCI secretary Jay Shah was also appointed as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). His appointment is expected to play a crucial role in the Champions Trophy's future in Pakistan.
