There is tension going on for some time between India and Pakistan Cricket Board regarding Champions Trophy 2025. The debate regarding the Champions Trophy had increased further when India had refused to play in Pakistan citing security concerns. But now it seems that soon a solution is going to emerge regarding this tournament. According to a report, Pakistan Cricket Board is ready for hybrid model, but it has put some conditions before ICC. Amidst all this, Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement regarding the Champions Trophy.
Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi is currently in Dubai. He had also come to watch the Men's Under-19 Asia Cup 2024 match played between India and Pakistan. After this match, he talked to the media about Mohsin Naqvi. Mohsin Naqvi said, 'Many things are going on. I don't want anything to go wrong amid this hustle and bustle. We have given our views on some things. Indians have given their perspective. We will do what is best for cricket and we want cricket to win. This is the most important thing and definitely everything should be done in a proper manner and with respect.
Mohsin Naqvi further said, 'We will do what is best for cricket. Whatever formula the tournament will be played on, it is definitely not a hybrid formula right now, but if a new formula comes, then there will be equality in it. Ultimately we want cricket to win and Pakistan's honor to remain intact. Let's see what happens. When asked about boycotting the tournament, he said, 'Our only objective is that cricket should win and honor for Pakistan is supreme.'
