CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to formally protest after its chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, rejected the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) explanation for Pakistan’s exclusion from the Champions Trophy 2025 ceremony. The controversy erupted after Pakistan, the official host for the tournament, was notably absent from the event, raising concerns over ICC’s handling of the situation.
Naqvi has expressed strong dissatisfaction, calling the justification “unacceptable” and demanding accountability from the global cricket body. The PCB is reportedly planning to escalate the matter, seeking transparency and fair treatment in international cricket affairs. This incident has intensified tensions between the PCB and ICC, fueling debates over governance and favoritism in cricket administration. With the Champions Trophy being a major event for Pakistan, the exclusion from the ceremony has been viewed as a significant diplomatic and sporting snub. Cricket fans and experts are closely watching how this dispute unfolds, as it could impact Pakistan’s role in global cricketing events.
