PCB missed the chance, India will never come to Pakistan now: Ahmed Shehzad

India Today  

Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad feels Pakistan Cricket Board has missed the golden chance of hosting India by agreeing to the hybrid model for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. India don't hold bilateral relations with Pakistan since 2012-13 "I did a podcast where I suggested the idea of building a stadium by the border. India last travelled to Pakistan to play in the Asia Cup 2008 and haven’t travelled to the country since then due to the stiff political relations between the two nations. However, Pakistan have continuously visited India for ICC events, namely the T20 World Cup 2016 and also the ODI World Cup 2023.
