The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is steadfast in its belief that all Champions Trophy games will take place in Pakistan.
Sources claim that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which uses the motto “Pakistan’s event, in Pakistan,” is steadfast in its position.
The PCB has made major investments in stadium upgrades in anticipation of hosting all eight teams across three venues for the Champions Trophy.
Though a hybrid model and a backup plan have been discussed, the PCB remains steadfast in its preparations and intends to make a strong statement at the next ICC conference.
PCB insiders stress that Pakistan is focused on preserving its position, even though it is the ICC’s duty to develop backup plans. They contend that all of the participating teams—aside from India—have already played in Pakistan, therefore India’s hesitation to travel is a weak one.
According to additional sources, the Pakistani squad will retaliate by declining to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup in India if India declines to visit Pakistan.
In contrast to prior years, the PCB is anticipated to take a more stringent position in 2024, which will make it more difficult for matches to be moved from Pakistan.
