Champions Trophy 2025: There are less than 100 days left for the start of Champions Trophy 2025, but everything has come to a standstill due to the ongoing dispute between BCCI and PCB. If PCB is not in favor of the hybrid model, then BCCI is refusing to send the team to Pakistan. In such a situation, the schedule of Champions Trophy is getting delayed. Talking about new developments, BCCI is looking for a new option under which if Pakistan refuses to play in the Champions Trophy, then it can be hosted by India.
On the other hand, Pakistan is making every effort to ensure that the hosting rights are not snatched away from it and like the rest of the team, India should also tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Let us tell you that India has not toured Pakistan since 2008. Sports lovers are having to bear the brunt of the ongoing political tug of war between the two countries.
Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi made a special appeal to BCCI. He has made this request on social media site X. He wrote on X, 'Today cricket is at an important stage. This year is probably facing its biggest challenges since 1970. Now the time has come that we should forget our mutual differences and unite through sports.
If countries divided throughout history can come together in the Olympic spirit, why can't we do the same for cricket – and the Champions Trophy?
As managers of this game, it is our responsibility to understand the responsibility of its development. I hope to see every team in Pakistan play in CT25. I will experience our warmth and hospitality and take with me unforgettable memories beyond the field.
