The plans so far solely involve holding matches within Pakistan. However, given the anticipated reluctance of the Indian government to permit the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to send the Indian team to Pakistan, a decision on this matter will be taken in due course.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Merriweather\">Zaka Ashraf, the head of the PCB management committee, recently held discussions with Khalid Al Zarooni, the Vice Chairman of the Emirates Cricket Board, though the Champions Trophy was not specifically addressed during their meeting. Despite this, the UAE has expressed unwavering cooperation with Pakistan.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Merriweather\">Sources indicate that if India opts not to send its team, the possibility of relocating some Champions Trophy matches to the UAE can\u2019t be ruled out. Nevertheless, the ICC would need to bear the additional expenses, and a modification to the tournament format may become necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Merriweather\">It is noteworthy that while the ICC had previously awarded Pakistan the hosting rights for the Champions Trophy, the formal agreement was only signed this past Friday, following a prolonged impasse. The previous PCB management committee had raised objections based on ICC documents, prompting the seeking of legal advice. Despite visits from ICC Chairman Greg Barclay and CEO Geoff Allardice to Pakistan in May, a resolution to the matter remained elusive.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Merriweather\">Pakistan&#8217;s stance is unequivocal: if any country cites security concerns as a reason for not sending a team, the ICC should avoid making unilateral decisions. Instead, a comprehensive evaluation, in consultation with an independent security agency, should be conducted. The ICC has acceded to this demand.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sd-bottom-social ss-icon\">\n<p class=\"ss-share-now\"> Share Now <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/icc-accepts-pakistans-demand-regarding-champions-trophy-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/icc-accepts-pakistans-demand-regarding-champions-trophy-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between\">\n<span class=\"w-100\"><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/cricketpakistan.com.pk\/en\/news\/detail\/icc-accepts-pakistans-demand-regarding-champions-trophy-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<article><span><i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/span><\/article>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n        js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.12&appId=340509153097398&autoLogAppEvents=1\";\n        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Cricket Council (ICC) has granted hosting rights for the Champions Trophy 2025, slated for February-March, to Pakistan.
