Pakistan Cricket Board seeks advice from its government after India’s refusal to cross the border is confirmed.
India’s cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed two days after its chairman said the host nation will not accept a “hybrid model” for hosting its cross-border rivals.
“The PCB has received an e-mail from the ICC, stating that the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed them that their team will not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025,” a PCB spokesperson said on Sunday.
The PCB, which is set to host the tournament in February and March, has sought the “advice and guidance” of Pakistan’s government, the statement added.
The move comes two days after PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said the host nation will not stage any matches outside the country if India does not travel for the tournament.
“In the last two months, the Indian media has been reporting that India isn’t travelling. I discussed this with them and my team, and our stance is clear: They need to give us in writing any objections they may have,” Naqvi told reporters on Friday.
