Champions Trophy standoff: PCB chairman says India's refusal to travel to Pakistan is 'an unequal situation.'

Champions Trophy:

Mohsin Naqvi finds it out of line that Pakistan voyages to India on all occasions, but India always denies traveling to Pakistan for major ICC occasions.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi has addressed India's continued refusal to visit the nation to play cricket as the deadlock proceeds over the Champions Trophy 2025.

“It is fair to say that whereas Pakistan keeps on going and playing in India on all occasions, the Indian specialists are not willing to send their group to play in Pakistan. We can't have such an unequal situation,” Naqvi told columnists last night at the Gaddafi Stadium, detailed PTI.

At a virtual assembly called for by the Universal Cricket Chamber to be held on Friday, The Indian Express detailed that a half-breed demonstration is likely to be proposed to the PCB for the Champions Trophy, which is able to see India's three matches, an elimination round, and the ultimate to be played in an unbiased nation. India has insinuated to the ICC their refusal to travel to Pakistan for the competition. PCB needs the complete Champions Trophy to be played at Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. In any case, new pressures are rising in Pakistan, which is driven to Sri Lanka's cricket board canceling its A team visit, which is improbable to assist PCB's position amid the assembly.

Naqvi played it secure with respect to the 'Hybrid' show for the Champions Trophy, as prior he had declared that PCB would not acknowledge the proposed format. “All I can guarantee is anything that happens within the assembly will come out with great news and choices that can be accepted by our people,” he said.

Naqvi trusted that Jay Shah, who will take over as the ICC Chairman on December 5, would make choices based on the interests of world cricket and all parts of the sheets. “Jay Shah takes charge in December, and I'm beyond any doubt that once he moves from the BCCI to the ICC, he will think almost of the ICC's advantage, and that's what he ought to do. At whatever point anybody expects such a part, he ought to, as it were, consider the interface of that organization,” he said.
