Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will update the ICC on the latest cricket developments in Pakistan at its upcoming meeting.
According to sources, Naqvi will give a thorough report on Pakistan’s recent foreign team hosting successes including the tours of Australia, England and New Zealand.
The PCB chairman will also discuss the plans and arrangements for the Champions Trophy which Pakistan will host in the near future. In recent days he has underlined Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to hosting the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
Naqvi will be expected to respond to questions on the nation’s capacity to hold international cricket competitions including possible inquiries concerning government protocol for visiting teams.
Mohsin Naqvi is probably going to point out in his briefing that Pakistan is a peaceful nation with a cricket loving population.
The future of cricket in Pakistan will be the main topic of discussion at the crucial Champions Trophy conference which is set to start at 3 PM (Pakistani time).
Pakistan Cricket team became stronger and even yesterday’s match was a crushing win against Zimbabwe in the 3rd ODI.
In his recent interview at a Gaddafi Stadium press conference Naqvi stated that when India declines to play in Pakistan, it is unacceptable for Pakistan to play in India.
He stated, “Our stance is very clear. I promise we’ll do what is best for Pakistan cricket. I’m constantly in touch with the ICC chairman, and my team is talking to them constantly. We’re still clear in our stance that it’s not acceptable that we play cricket in India, and they don’t play cricket here. Whatever will happen, will happen on the basis of equality. We’ve told the ICC very clearly and what happens next we’ll let you know.”
The Champions Trophy will take place in February and March next year and the matches will be held at the main three locations of Pakistan.
The Indian government’s hesitancy to authorize the Indian team to travel to Pakistan is currently a concern regarding the ICC Champions Trophy.
