"It would not be in cricket’s interests for India not to be playing in the Champions Trophy": ECB Chief

[Rajdeep]

Champions Trophy held in Pakistan without India ‘not in cricket’s interests’

The England and Wales Cricket Board is awaiting clarification over arrangements for next year’s Champions Trophy, with India highly unlikely to agree to play in host nation Pakistan.

The eight-team tournament, effectively a mini 50-over World Cup, is due to be held in Pakistan in February but no schedule has been released and one major question mark still lingers.

Political tensions between the two nations have led to strained sporting relations and India, cricket’s richest and most powerful country, have not played a game in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup.

There is an expectation that some fixtures, including India’s, will be moved to the United Arab Emirates and even suggestions that two venues could be chosen for the final, depending on whether India make it that far.

That makes planning more difficult for boards, fans and media but there has been no official update from the International Cricket Council.

Talks will continue at ICC board level but India’s financial leverage is such that their participation is not considered negotiable, even if they refuse to play in Pakistan.

“(Play) without India? I wouldn’t have thought so. If you play the Champions Trophy without India or Pakistan, the broadcast rights aren’t there, and we need to protect them,” said ECB chief executive Richard Gould.

“It would not be in cricket’s interests for India not to be playing in the Champions Trophy. We’re all waiting to understand whether India are going to travel.

“That’s the key. I know Pakistan are expecting India to travel but there are lots of different alternatives and contingencies available if that doesn’t happen.

“Hopefully we can have the fullest possible competition in Pakistan, this is a big moment for the country. If that’s not possible, we know there are options available.

“There’s geopolitics and then there’s cricketing geopolitics. I think they’ll find a way. They have to find a way. There are always security concerns in this part of the world when those two countries play each other. That will probably drive the key decisions.”

There are "lots of contingencies available" in the event that India do not travel to Pakistan for the tournament but, to "protect broadcast rights", replacing India in the line-up is not one of them per ECB chief.

Have said here a few months back and constantly - there is no CT without Ind and Ind is not going to Pak for CT. BBut Pak posters here as usual are in denial. Giving stupid bombastic statements without knowing the reality. Reality check I guess.

 

[aukhan]

Based on what i see from Indian comments on social media, it's not hard to predict that they won't travel. For them, not traveling would be a kind of victory. They want the Champions Trophy taken away from Pakistan and are willing to do anything to achieve that.

fully expect that fake emails will be sent to foreign players. Anticipate another wave of them.

Forget about India, do you think PCB should take a stance and not send its team for any future ICC events in India if India don't travel to Pak for CT? That is in your hand, right?

Why is the PCB so desperate for participation from a "Dushman Mulk"?
And why are you bothered if the "Dushman Mulk" is not willing to travel? and you calling neech

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

If India can't make the short trip to Lahore, they don't even need to stay in Pakistan then they should not be in the tournament.

Pakistan has travelled enough times to India and in the last WC it was a hostile atmosphere with all sorts of anti Islamic rhetoric in the ground aimed at the Pakistani players, disgusting. Should never have travelled there.

It’s not just that you don’t want to travel due to security concerns. Admit it, your ego will be hurt if the CT happens in Pakistan. I’ve read thousands of comments on Facebook and X, and India’s arrogance about being the richest board is clear. The belief that Jay Shah won’t let that happen echoes throughout all the Indian comments. How is it that all Indians say the same thing, with not a single difference of opinion?

They have a deep rooted insecurity and they always will. Cultivated for 1000 years. Canada is starting to find out first hand.

TBH there were no hostile environment when Pakistan team travelled India last year during world cup. I was thinking they will get booed every where they go but on the contrary crowd was very supportive of them in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai. Some section of our brotherly crowd were even chanting Pakistan Zindabaad. Also, after the complain from Micky Arthur, DJ corrected himself and played Dil Dil Pakistan. Your players spoke more time about the delicious Hyderabadi biryani in press conference than cricket. Only in Ahmedabad they got a rough time but it was expected as it is Modi's territory.

 

[RehanG]

I know it's all about money. PSL also survived and PCB survived without playing India for past decade. If India opts out PAK should also deny participation in CT held anywhere else. And also make a stand and don't visit India for any ICC tournament.

If India don't travel to Pakistan for CT then no more India Pakistan matches, no more Pakistan travelling to India. There have been enough overtures made over the years by PCB.

Yes I agree, that is the stance PCB should take. Now whether they will do it or not is a separate story.

My hunch is they wont and will eventually send its team to India after doing some tamasha for Asia Cup 2025 and WT20 2026.

Your PCB chief calls Ind Dushman Mulk and expects bouquets . Get real dude. PCB has been at BCCIs mercy honestly in ICC events. Harsh but true. What sabotage ?? BCCI has always said tours to Pak are based on GOI approval. Simple. Why it is so tough for you guys to decipher that ? And have to agree BCI became the richest and powerful coming up thru the ranks being savvy resourceful and committed. PCB could have done the same , but no

 

[deltexas]

Sure , no issues whatsoever. But tell that to PCB who is the decision maker.

Not bothered at all if you dont want to come. Just stay at home and dont participate. Please withdraw from the event so that Sri Lanka can take your place. But I know the arrogance in you Indians doesnt want that. Your only goal is to see the tournament moved to another country.

They will divert their scam call centres to start ringing players and officials in Pakistan about fake terrorist threats. The obsession is real.

If Pakistan had a proper intelligence apparatus like Canada, they would have been exposed years ago.

No issues again but the problem is PCB and other boards are begging BCCI on the contrary. So tell PCB to remove Ind and go ahead with CT. No one is stopping them.

I think if India withdraws from the tournament, it will not be a profitable tournament for ICC and its affiliate boards. That is what ECB chief is saying. BCCI and Indian players would love to sit out from this tournament to get much needed rest and there are one ICC event every year anyway. So missing one CT will not make any difference to Indian cricket team. However, Champions Trophy needs India more than other way around. Srilanka will not fill that void.

Yeah, as if we have no goals in life other than moving the useless Champions Trophy away from Pakistan.
Go and inform the PCB, and tell them to ask India to simply 'Don't participate,' instead of breaking keyboards over it. The chances of the tournament being moved are high if India doesn’t travel to Pakistan.

Agree. CT should move on without India.

As far as not travelling to India, a question that needs to be posed to the PCB. Not sure if you will get a response of any sort though.

Nothing wrong with that. I am sure if tables were turned pakistan would be behaving just as bad if not worse. Most likely worse.

India should act in the best interest of cricket and play in Pakistan.

That's why beggars label. Not choosers. Fact.

[U$ofA]

He is right.

All this ambiguity currently is because the ICC and PCB are acting in their selfish interest and not in the interest of cricket. Because if they did, SL would have been in place a long time ago and schedules would have been out. But...no, let's be selfish and greedy.

But somehow, India has to act in the best interest of cricket and not theirs. Interesting.

 

[U$ofA]

Yup, there is a juicy 5 test series coming up to fill up their coffers.

 

[oatmeal]

It's going to be a hybrid model and India wont travel to Pakistan. This has been clear for a long time , its just the same discussion a million times.

India is stronger financially and PCB is not in a position to say no to the cash from hosting Champions trophy. There is no incentive for India to compromise on their stance

Hybrid tournament coming up and that's the best case scenario for PAK.

 

[Savak]

PCB will come under pressure to accommodate India with a Hybrid model. The tournament will be way less lucrative without India's involvement. Trust me the PCB cannot afford the financial hit.

If India's FM can travel to Pakistan for a moot then why can't its cricketers? Its time to end the hypocrisy and send the team to Pakistan.

Has been the standard policy of bcci for a long time now. Ind will play pak in icc events but travel to any country incl Pak is based on GOI approval. And so Ind will not play pak if the event is held in Pak - and that's the GOI decision not bcci. Upto Pcb what they want to do.
In 2023 odi WC - pak delayed giving final approval to travel to Ind. And i believe bcci gave a final requet to pcb to respond or else they will have contingency plans and have WI slotted in.

Pcb should do the same now. But the issue is pcb cant and will not as its no position to against bcci and will be a financial disaster if Ind doesn't play CT and so they will accommodate any and all bcci requests.

[Caved12]

If you are a true cricket fan, you should all be asking India to show up as this is an ICC event where the hosting rights have been given to Pakistan. You already forced us to go with the hybrid model for Asia cup, and now you are going to do the same for the champions trophy as well. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

 

[Hawkeye]

It’s a simple fact.

No major cricket tournament will be or can be held without IND. Even if it means the host nation’s hosting rights have to be snatched away.

No matter how much we Pakistanis cry, that is the ultimate reality. There is no money in tournaments without IND and their broadcasting rights. And ICC is not a fool to arrange loss making tournaments.

The only solution to this is to become a country that is rich in cash and has a booming economy. Then the money can buy anything and we can have tournaments as per our terms.

Show the money to ICC and we will be in business again.

Alternative is to work on things diplomatically and slowly things will improve. Recent SCO summit is a good example.

what a shame eh ? ... that such a peace loving cuddly innocent country that never fired a shot in anger has to endure such torment from its obviously very evil neighbors. I would never know why !!

I mean, the sheer audacity of anyone to question the impeccable, peace-loving country that’s practically a global mascot for harmony. Never mind that little detail of Osama bin Laden chilling next to a military establishment, or the whole 26/11 Mumbai attack thing, or the four wars, which are just minor blips, really, in an otherwise perfect track record of utter blissful peace and harmony!

Meanwhile, we, the villainous kaffir neighbors, clearly can't hold a candle to such a bastion of innocence. But yes, how utterly evil of us to be amused by something as trivial as sports logistics! Priorities, right? But don’t worry, we all know the truth will come out—another classic tale of victimhood wrapped in a shiny package of denial. Cheer!​

Maybe canada should introspect a bit more and think long and hard about who they let into the country.
