Champions Trophy: PCB prepared to bow down before BCCI, said- will accept whatever happens in the meeting
The future of the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan is hanging in the balance. The ICC has not yet announced the schedule of the tournament and the reason for this is Pakistan's hosting, which has become a noose around the neck of the ICC. Pakistan wants Team India to come to play here while the BCCI has clearly refused this. The BCCI has demanded to organize this tournament under the hybrid model. At the same time, now the PCB has given a new threat to the BCCI. PCB President Mohsin Naqvi said that if the Indian team does not come to Pakistan, then his team will also not go to India.
Naqvi will accept the decision of ICC meeting
The ICC has called a virtual meeting of its executive board members on Friday to take a final decision on the Champions Trophy. Naqvi said that it is not possible that Pakistan keeps playing all the tournaments in India and Indian officials are not ready to send their team to play in Pakistan. Naqvi further said that he will not let this happen. Naqvi, however, adopted a soft attitude when asked about the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy. He had earlier said that the PCB would not accept such a proposal. Naqvi said that I can only assure that whatever happens in the meeting, our people will accept it and we will bring good news and decisions.
Naqvi has hope from Jai Shah
Naqvi expressed hope that Jay Shah, who will take over as ICC chairman on December 5, will take a decision in the interest of world cricket and all member boards. He said, 'Jay Shah will take charge in December and I am sure that when he goes from BCCI to ICC, he will think about the decision of ICC and that is what he should do.' Naqvi said that Jay Shah should also think only about the interest of ICC.
