Karachi. Former Pakistan cricketers have expressed relief that the ICC has finally succeeded in ending the impasse with India over the Champions Trophy under which the Indian team will play all its matches at neutral venues. In return, the Pakistani team will also play all its matches in ICC tournaments in India in the current cycle of 2027 at neutral venues. Great batsman Javed Miandad said, “I think the PCB has shown wisdom and chose a solution instead of being isolated.” In this, PCB has benefited more than BCCI.
He said, “Pakistan is hosting a big tournament after a long time.” We have given a clear message that if you do not come to play in our country, we will also not go to play in India. This arrangement will be applicable in the Champions Trophy 2025 (Pakistan), the Women’s Cricket World Cup to be held in India next year and the T20 World Cup to be held in India and Sri Lanka in 2026. India had refused to go to the tournament to be held in Pakistan in February-March due to security reasons.
India has not played Pakistan since the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. Former Pakistan captain Wasim Bari said, “All I can say is that their players and fans would have received a tremendous welcome if they came here.” Former Pakistan captain Moeen Khan said, “PCB needs another ICC tournament.” Getting the hosting rights is a good sign for Pakistan cricket.
