Meanwhile, the statement of former veteran Pakistani player Wasim Akram has come to light. He invited India to visit Pakistan. Along with this, he has also made a big promise.

Wasim Akram made a big promise

Wasim Akram has made a big promise in his conversation before the Champions Trophy. He has said that I think there are positive signs from the Indian Government and BCCI to come to Pakistan. I read somewhere that they can play all their matches in Lahore. Team India can come to Lahore and go back the same night. I am completely ready for this. I can promise you that Team India will be looked after very well. Fans of Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav are present in Pakistan. Young cricket fans like him very much.

Pakistan Cricket Board can host the Champions Trophy 2025 between February 19 and March 9. PCB has proposed to organize all the matches of India in Lahore. Apart from this, PCB has also announced to give visa to 17 thousand Indian fans, who want to come to Pakistan to watch India's match in the Champions Trophy.
