The IND vs PAK, outside the field has taken a new turn now. After BCCI’s refusal to send the team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, followed by a delayed decision on Indian blind cricket’s T20 World Cup participation there, now the Indian kabaddi team has been denied clearance.
As per a report in Pakistani Publication, the Express Tribune, India was supposed to play an exhibition match on November 19 vs Pakistan at Kartarpur, which won’t happen now. This wasn’t the only match that the Indian kabaddi team was to play in Pakistan, as a fixture was scheduled in Lahore for Nov 21, and Bahawalpur for Nov 23. Meanwhile, after this decision, the Pakistan Kabaddi Federation might now hold an exhibition match in Nankana.
BCCI vs PCB, No Champions Trophy
Meanwhile, the PCB has officially reached out to the ICC, regarding India’s refusal to play in the Champions Trophy 2025. It seems, that PCB also seek an answer, as to why India has denied to play in Pakistan. All this confusion has left the organisers worried, as till no the Champions Trophy schedule hasn’t been released. Even though there is a tentative schedule that was announced, but with uncertainty over India’s participation, nothing can be confirmed.
The entire fiasco has drawn sever reaction from the Pakistani government. As per reports, they are contemplating boycotting the tournament if India fails to play Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan.
