PM Shehbaz Sharif Offers Full Support to PCB over ICC Champions Trophy Hosting Bid

In a rare show of confidence, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed full support to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi as the nation pursues its bid to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, invoking a sense of pride and self-respect in handling the negotiations. This development comes as the International Cricket Council (ICC) is poised to make a final decision on the tournament's hosting, a decision that could potentially shift the course of Pakistan's hosting career.

A high-level meeting between the Prime Minister and the PCB Chairman has been highlighted by a uniquely crafted "fusion formula" proposed by the PCB, where India would participate in matches at a neutral venue should Pakistan secure the right to host future ICC events within its territory. The plans were detailed to the Prime Minister, who has assured complete backing to Naqvi on that front. The Indian cricket board remains hesitant to accept this proposal, a stance that has led to ongoing tensions between the two cricket authorities.

The CC has not made a public comment on the negotiations. The proposed formula mirrors the BCCI’s open acceptance of a hybrid model that allows India to play in Dubai and possibly future events in Dubai for the next 3 years until 2027. Sources have suggested that the board has not been forthcoming about any upcoming agreements, and the current prosposal is its strongest move to date, sparking anxiety within the board and confusion regarding the purpose of this perilous measure.

A proposed tri-series including India is still on the negotiating block, however, it is paralleled with declining consensus over the Champions Trophy bid. Since both sides are at a stalemate, it remains to be seen what the EC has in store for Pakistan; Possible than that the proposed hybrid model could be finalized and all inklings of stalemate between the two boards will be brought to an end.
