“This is not a joke” Ex-Pak cricketers can’t keep calm, spew venom, after India’s decision on Champions Trophy

With just a few months left for the Champions Trophy, there is still a lot of confusion, and now that the BCCI has decided not to send India to Pakistan for the tournament, talks are everywhere now!

Since 1996, Pakistan hasn’t hosted any ICC tournament, but the Champions Trophy 2025 may change everything. However, the path to hosting the CT looks difficult for now, especially since the BCCI has clearly conveyed to the ICC and PCB that the Indian cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. Although the Men in Blue are ready to play under a hybrid model, as playing matches in Pakistan will not suit them. Now, just after the clarification from the BCCI, discussions and criticism have started in Pakistan, especially from former players who initially thought there would be no issue hosting a full-fledged Champions Trophy in their homeland. But now, things look a little difficult for Pakistan to host the entire tournament. As mentioned, many big former names are commenting on the BCCI’s actions and their reluctance to send India to play in the Champions Trophy. See what Pakistan’s greats are saying.

Will India travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy?

From Mohammad Hafeez to Javed Miandad, everyone is taking a dig at the BCCI’s plans. Now, it looks very clear that India is not going to Pakistan and will push for a hybrid model. Even before the decision was made, the last few weeks saw many developments, with reports suggesting that the ICC would assess the PCB’s stance on the hybrid model and whether they are open to shifting games to the UAE or another part of the world. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board seems unwilling to move from their original position, making it difficult for the ICC to decide on the future of the Champions Trophy 2025. Recently, the ICC cancelled the Champions Trophy event scheduled for 11 November. It will be interesting to see how things goes.
