PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has once again clarified that their stance over hosting all the matches of the Champions Trophy remains the same. In a recent press conference that was held at the Gaddafi Stadium, Naqvi said that, “it’s not possible that Pakistan play in India, and they don’t come here.” Naqvi also said that him and his team are in contact with the ICC Chairman and are comstantly talking to him.
“I promise we’ll do what is best for Pakistan cricket. I’m constantly in touch with the ICC chairman and my team is talking to them constantly. We’re still clear in our stance that it’s not acceptable that we play cricket in India, and they don’t play cricket here. Whatever will happen, will happen on the basis of equality. We’ve told the ICC very clearly, and what happens next we’ll let you know,” Naqvi said at the press conference.
“Whatever we do, we will make sure the best outcome for Pakistan is achieved. But I repeat, and I am sure you know what I mean, it’s not possible that Pakistan play in India, and they don’t come here,” Naqvi added.
The PCB chairman also urged Jay Shah, who takes over as the ICC Chairman this Sunday, to think about ICC ‘s benefit and handle the situation well.
“(Jay Shah) takes charge in December, and I’m sure once he moves from the BCCI to the ICC, he will think about the ICC’s benefit, and that’s what he should do. Whenever anyone assumes such a role, he should only consider the interests of that organization,” Naqvi said.
