Jay Shah 'strongly' objects Pakistan taking Champions Trophy on tour across PoK; ICC springs into action

Firstpost  

The PCB had announced on Thursday that the trophy would be taken on a tour that would begin in Islamabad, the national capital, and later cover cities such as Skardu, Hunza and Muzaffarabad which fall in the disputed PoK region. Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah has raised “strong” objection to the Pakistan Cricket Board’s plans for taking the Champions Trophy on a tour across Pakistan Occupied Kashmir this month. The PCB had announced on Thursday that the trophy would be taken on a tour that would begin in Islamabad, the national capital, and later cover cities such as Skardu, Hunza and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, a region illegally occupied by Pakistan in 1947 after the Partition. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour kicks off in Islamabad on 16 November, also visiting scenic travel destinations like Skardu, Murree, Hunza and Muzaffarabad. While the BCCI had initially called for the tournament to be hosted in a ‘Hybrid Model’, as was the case in last year’s Asia Cup, the PCB remains firm in its stance that the tournament will take place entirely in Pakistan, ruling out of the possibility of some of the matches taking place in a neutral venue.
