BCCI's Clear Take On Rohit Sharma's Travel Chances To Pakistan For Champions Trophy: "Still Not..."

Will Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma travel to Pakistan or not? Now, that seems to be the latest bone of contention between the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board. After India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy saw the tournament being hosted in a hybrid model, reports claimed that there are some question marks on Rohit Sharma travelling to Pakistan - the original designated hosts - for the pre-tournament captains' meet. Generally, captains of all competing sides congregate before any ICC event opening ceremony and talk about their plans and aims.

BCCI Breaks Silence On Reported Refusal To Sport Pakistan Logo On Champions Trophy Jersey

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally broken its long silence over Indian cricket team's jersey for the Champions Trophy 2025, after reports claimed that the side won't use the logo of 'Pakistan' - the designated hosts - on its jersey. Generally, the norm is that the official logo of any ICC event will have the host country's name. When Pakistan came to India in 2023 for the 50-over ICC World Cup, Babar Azam and his men duly sported the host country's name on their jerseys as part of the tournament protocol.

Will Rohit Sharma Travel To Pakistan For Champions Trophy Captains' Meet? BCCI Breaks Silence

A customary captains' meet is set to take place in Pakistan ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025. The captains of all the eight participating teams need to be present at the event that is scheduled to take place on 17th or 18th of February. However, there is still no clarity whether India captain Rohit Sharma will be there at the event. Notably, the Indian cricket team has not travelled to Pakistan for over a decade now due to the political tensions between the two nations. Team India even opted not to travel to the country for the upcoming Champions Trophy, and as a result, the side has been scheduled to play all its matches in Dubai, despite Pakistan being the initial designated host.

India, Australia, England Explore Possibility Of Two-Tier Test System

The ICC in collaboration with cricket boards of India, Australia and England is exploring the possibility of a two-tier Test system to facilitate more series between big three nations. The Age reported that Jay Shah, the new ICC chairman, is set to meet Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird and his England counterpart Richard Thompson later this month to discuss the finer points. "Any plan for a move to two divisions in Test cricket would kick in after the end of the current Future Tours Program in 2027," the Age reported quoting its sources.

BCCI In A Fix Over Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli Retirement Decision? Report Makes Huge Claim

It was a horrible outing for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the recently-concluded Test series against Australia. Despite scoring a brilliant ton in the first Test match, Kohli finished the series with 190 runs at an average of 23.75 across eight innings. The star batter's struggles with deliveries outside the off-stump were once again exposed as his batting technique was criticised by both fans as well as experts. The situation was worse for Rohit who scored just 31 runs in 3 matches before dropping himself for the final Test in Sydney. While speculations are rife about their future, a report by Dainik Jagran claimed that the star batters are unlikely to retire on their own, leaving the tough task up to the selectors.
