Champions Trophy 2025: Mohsin Naqvi confident India will travel to Pakistan
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairperson Mohsin Naqvi expressed hope that India will come to the country for the next edition of ICC Champions Trophy, set to take place next year.
Mohsin made this statement during an interaction with the press in Lahore.
Speaking to the press, Naqvi said, "Indian team mujhe puri umeed hai... Abhi tak koi aisi cheej nahi hai jiski wajeh se vo postpone karey ya cancel karey. Toh sari teams aayengi (Team India will come to play the Champions Trophy, all the teams will come)," Naqvi said.
Pakistan has not hosted any major International Cricket Council (ICC) event since the 1996 ODI World Cup, which it co-hosted with India and Sri Lanka. It was supposed to co-host the 2011 edition of the tournament, but their rights were stripped after a terror attack on a touring Sri Lanka side's bus back in 2009. The tournament was then played in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
