PCB does not want to hold Champions Trophy final outside Lohar, even if India qualifies for it

Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan. Pakistan Cricket Board is preparing for this. But PCB has not released the schedule regarding this tournament.

Champions Trophy is to be played in Pakistan in the year 2025. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has worked wholeheartedly to prepare for it. But India itself has become the biggest problem for him. Because the Government of India is considering the security of its team. Doesn't want to send them to Pakistan. If the Indian team does not go to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy. So Pakistani Cricket Board will suffer huge financial loss.

The Pakistan Cricket Board is mentally prepared that India may refuse to come to play the Champions Trophy but it is not ready to move the final to be held on March 9 out of Lahore. Even if India qualifies for it. The issue of the Champions Trophy final may also come up in the meeting of the board members of the International Cricket Council to be held in Dubai from 18 to 21 October.

A PCB source said that PCB's first choice and priority is that the entire tournament be held in Pakistan. But the board is also mentally prepared that the Indian government will not send their team here and India's matches will be held in UAE. He said that PCB wants the final to be played in Lahore only. Even if India reaches the finals, the PCB would want the matches to be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been halted since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. In which 175 people were killed and around 300 were injured. BCCI may request ICC to conduct the tournament on hybrid model. In which its matches should be played in Sri Lanka or Dubai.
