“PCB Chief Confirms Champions Trophy 2025 to Be Held in Pakistan”
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reaffirmed its commitment to hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, despite ongoing concerns and opposition from certain quarters. Speaking on the matter, the PCB chief emphasized, “Our stance is clear: the Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan.”
This declaration comes amid reports suggesting reluctance from some international teams to tour Pakistan due to security concerns. The PCB chief dismissed these apprehensions, citing Pakistan’s successful hosting of international cricket events in recent years, including series against top cricketing nations and the Pakistan Super League (PSL), as proof of the country’s readiness to host major tournaments.
The PCB has assured the ICC and member nations that all necessary security and logistical arrangements will be made to ensure the smooth conduct of the Champions Trophy. The board is also in discussions with the ICC to address any reservations from participating countries and to secure their full cooperation.
This marks a significant milestone for Pakistan cricket, as it would be the first time the country hosts an ICC event since 1996. The PCB chief’s firm stance highlights Pakistan’s determination to re-establish itself as a regular venue for international cricket, despite facing challenges in the past due to security issues.
