Pakistan's tension increased due to the statement that if there is no India then there will be no Champions Trophy; the ECB chief created a stir

Champions Trophy without India: The ECB chief has issued a big statement regarding the Champions Trophy without India. His statement is also a shock for Pakistan.

ECB Rejects Hosting Idea Champions Trophy 2025: Champions Trophy 2025 is to be organized in February and March next year. For many months, ICC has also waiting for any update regarding Team India's visit to Pakistan. Due to the lack of a clear stand from India, the concern of ICC and other countries participating in the tournament has also increased. Meanwhile, the England and Wales Cricket Board has expressed concern about Champions Trophy 2025.

On the Champions Trophy, ECB chief Richard Gould said, "Tournament without India, I don't even think so. If you play the Champions Trophy without India and Pakistan, then there will be no broadcasting rights. If India is not in the tournament, it will not be good news for the game of cricket. We are all waiting to see if India will go to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy or not."

The game will suffer a huge loss

Richard Gould believes that whether India goes to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy or not, Jay Shah, who has been elected as the ICC chairman, will also have a big hand in it. Richard has expressed confidence that Jay Shah will find a way and he will have to find a way for the betterment of cricket. A few weeks ago, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla said that whether the Indian team will go abroad to play cricket or not, this decision is completely in the hands of the Indian government, but the government has not yet put forward any clear stand.

Pakistan is not ready to back down.

According to the proposed schedule of Champions Trophy 2025, all the matches of Team India are to be played in Lahore. PCB is adamant about organizing the Champions Trophy completely in Pakistan and has made it clear that no hybrid model will be adopted. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that the future of the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament is hanging in the balance.
