Khan made these remarks in an attempt to point out why India should travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. India is currently unwilling to travel to the neighbouring country for the tournament that will be hosted in February-March 2025.
Virat Kohli should visit Pakistan: Younis Khan
“Virat Kohli should come to Pakistan for 2025 Champions Trophy. It is our wish too. I think the only thing left in Virat’s career is to tour Pakistan and perform,” Younis Khan to News24.
India last traveled to Pakistan in 2008 for the Men’s Asia Cup following which geopolitical tensions forced the former to boycott touring Pakistan. Since then, the two sides have only met at bilateral series in India or at ICC events around the globe.
