When we talk about cricket, the first thing that comes to mind is team India and its rival team Pakistan, as both teams are in the spotlight at every event organized by the ICC. Although it is exciting to know that we are heading to the champion trophy tournament, which will be held in early 2025 in Pakistan, suddenly the news is spreading around us that Team India will not come to Pakistan and not play any game on Pakistan’s home ground.
In the past few months, we have seen different news regarding this matter, but right now such news is getting more spotlight by the world, even in India and Pakistan, and many commentators are disseminating this news not only on social media but also on print and electronic media.
Indian side argues that instead of playing in Pakistani home ground we would consider the hybrid cricket model, which means team India would like to play their games in another country, which could probably be the UAE.
This would be an opportunity for Pakistani fans to watch these crucial and interesting games between India and Pakistan on their home ground. If the India Cricket Board continues its stance, then there is more possibility that Team India will play all the matches of the Champion Trophy 2025 on UAE grounds.
Until then, there has not been any official statement from both the ICB and PCB, even from the ICC, which is the organizer of this event. The cricket fans in Pakistan are still hopeful that Team India will come to Pakistan and play the champion trophy matches between India and Pakistan on Pakistani grounds. The fact is Pakistani fans have not seen any live match between India and Pakistan in Pakistan since 2008.
Let’s hope that whatever the news comes from an official source, it will be better for both Pakistani and Indian fans because cricket is considered to be a reason for the people of India and Pakistan to have fun and joy. If the matches were held in the UAE, then still you would expect a huge crowd to watch the key matches between India and Pakistan.
