ICC will meet soon and take a decision on this. Before this meeting, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has stressed on Pakistan's firm stand on hosting the tournament. Speaking at a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium, Naqvi said that it is not acceptable that Pakistan plays in India, but India continues to refuse to play in Pakistan.

He said, 'Our stand is very clear. I promise that we will do what is best for Pakistan cricket. I am in constant touch with the ICC Chairman and my team is constantly talking to him. We are still clear on our stand. It is not acceptable for us that we play cricket in India and they do not come here and play cricket. Whatever happens, it will be on the basis of equality. We have told the ICC very clearly and whatever happens next, we will let you know.

“We will not play any cricket with India in India if BCCI doesn’t send their team to Pakistan for 2025 Champions Trophy,” says Mohsin Naqvi 🇮🇳🇵🇰🔥🔥
