According to Indian media on Friday, India has made the decision to stick with its decision not to send a squad to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy next year, which is a significant blow for cricket.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has communicated its security concerns to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and asked that its matches be played in Dubai rather than Lahore, according to people acquainted with the situation who spoke to the Express.
“The Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan have raised concerns, according to the BCCI. Dubai is the front-runner to host the Men in Blue games because they want to play at a neutral location,” a source told the Times of India.
Meanwhile, the Indian Express was notified by another source.
