The hosting of Champions Trophy 2025 is in the hands of Pakistan. It is to be organized in the month of February-March. Amidst the news of Team India not going to Pakistan, the danger of losing the tournament is also looming. In view of this, Pakistan Cricket Board had placed a new offer before BCCE. It was claimed in the report of Cricbuzz that PCB has written a letter to Team India and offered to return on the same day after playing the match. It has also given assurance of help in this. Now the Indian Board has rejected this claim. He says that BCCI has not received any such letter from PCB.

What did BCCI say on the claim?

According to the report of Cricbuzz, PCB had said that if Team India has any kind of concern regarding security and it does not want to stay in Pakistan. So she can set up her base camp in Mohali, Chandigarh or New Delhi. And after every match the Indian team can return to its camp. Now Dainik Jagran's report has claimed that a senior BCCI official has refused to receive any such offer. Let us tell you that the distance from Lahore to India is only a few kilometers. In view of this, PCB had given BCCI a new option to return to India after every match.

Let us tell you that Pakistan has not hosted any ICC tournament since 1996. This time he is desperate to get the Champions Trophy done. For this, PCB has submitted the schedule of the tournament to be held in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi to ICC. The Pakistani board is spending crores of rupees and has promised a world class event. But the final decision depends on the Government of India only.

What did the ECB say?

ECB President Richard Gould and Richard Thompson recently met PCB officials. Both of them talked about holding the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, the participation of the Indian team in it and the role of Jai Shah. He had said that India not being in the Champions Trophy is not in the interest of cricket. He believes that it is necessary to have an Indian team to save the broadcast rights. If India does not come then other options like hybrid model will be considered. But no other team can take part in their place in this tournament.
