New Delhi. Will Pakistan host the Champions Trophy or not? The Pakistani Cricket Board, which was trying to resolve this issue, has suffered a major setback. Due to increasing violence and protests in Pakistan, Sri Lanka's A team is now leaving the tour midway and returning to their country. Meanwhile, ICC has questioned Pakistan about the way the Sri Lankan team is returning and the situation of civil war has arisen in Pakistan. In such a situation, is it possible to have Champions Trophy in Pakistan?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is scheduled to meet on June 29 regarding the Champions Trophy. The schedule of Champions Trophy is to be decided in this meeting. But even before this another big question has arisen. This question is about holding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. According to the source, ICC has asked the PCB about the way Sri Lanka A team is returning home and the situation of civil war has arisen in Pakistan. In such a situation, can the Champions Trophy be held in Pakistan? In response to this, the Pakistan Board has said that there is still three months left for the Champions Trophy. Therefore, it would not be right to take any decision on the current situation. According to the source, ICC will take a decision in the meeting on November 29 as to where and how the Champions Trophy will be held.

Let us tell you that the Sri Lankan team is on a tour of Pakistan. He played an unofficial test against Pakistan A. Now the ODI series was to take place but the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has already called its team before that. Cricket lovers know that in 2009, there was a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan. Since then, all the teams of the world had almost stopped touring Pakistan. After many years, cricket teams started touring Pakistan but security concerns always remained.
The Indian Cricket Board has also refused to participate in the Champions Trophy proposed to be held in Pakistan in February-March next year. After India's refusal, there is talk of holding the Champions Trophy in a hybrid model. However, Pakistan Cricket Board is denying this. A major decision in this regard may be taken in the ICC meeting on June 29.
