Pakistan is hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament will start in February next year. It is not yet clear whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said that the team will be sent to Pakistan only after the permission of the government. At the same time, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt says the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) should not worry too much about Team India. He said that it is the responsibility of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to convince India to play in Pakistan.
“If they come, welcome,” Butt said on his YouTube channel. If they don’t come, ICC will have to deal. Then we will also know that as a regulator they can deal only with other countries or do the same with India. It remains to be seen how much power they have as regulators and how neutral they can remain. I don’t think much needs to be done.” Let us tell you that the Indian team has not toured Pakistan since 2008. The Pakistan team toured Pakistan in ODIs last year. World Cup came to India for
of India T20 World Cup After winning 2024, BCCI Secretary Jai Shah said that senior players will also participate in the Champions Trophy. Butt said that Pakistan should not be happy with Jai Shah’s statement as he has not confirmed anything about the Indian team’s game. “We try to sensationalize everything,” Butt said. According to some reports, Jai Shah has given positive signals. However, I don’t think he gave any indication. Even if there is a signal from them, I will not be excited because it is the ICC’s responsibility to ensure that all the teams come to Pakistan.
He said, ‘Last year when the World Cup was held in India, it was said that the Pakistan team would not go until India was assured of participating in the Champions Trophy. Indian media said that this is an ICC event. So I think we should stick to it too. I don’t think we should worry about anything. Pakistan should not worry about who is coming and who is not. They should be concerned about making the event a success and providing good venues, hotels and security.”
