Al JazeeraPakistan Cricket Board seeks advice from its government after India’s refusal to cross the border is confirmed. India’s cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the International Cricket Council Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board has confirmed two days after its chairman said the host nation will not accept a “hybrid model” for hosting its cross-border rivals. “The PCB has received an e-mail from the ICC, stating that the Board for Control of Cricket in India has informed them that their team will not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025,” a PCB spokesperson said on Sunday. “The PCB chairman met heads of cricket boards in Barbados before the T20 World Cup final and discussed Pakistan’s preparations to host next year’s ICC Champions Trophy,” the source said. The Champions Trophy 2025 will be the first ICC event hosted by Pakistan since it shared the 1996 World Cup with India and Sri Lanka.
