Former Pakistan cricketer calls BCCI ’double standard’ amidst Champions Trophy 2025 chaos
Live MintFormer Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal has called the BCCI 'double standard' amidst the ICC champions Trophy 2025 chaos that has become the talking point in the whole world. The BCCI has been firm in it's stance to not travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy in February-March next year and wrote to the International Cricket Council about their decision. “I am disappointed to see such a scenario, but enough is enough as Pakistan have toured India despite one 2016 World Cup match shifted from Dharamshala to Kolkata, and then Pakistan played in Ahmedabad last year despite reservations," Akmal was quoted as saying to Telecom Asia Sport. If this Champions Trophy adopts a hybrid model with India not coming to Pakistan, then all other ICC events in India should adopt the same pattern with Pakistan not touring India,” Akmal opined.
