PCB had plans to take the trophy to Muzzafarabad (Azad Kashmir) but BCCI protested at that. So ICC removed Muzzafarabad from the itinerary.

If PCB could not take this small stand, how they are going to hold the tournament without Indian Team? Never!

Why does India care if Pakistan wants to take it to Azad Kashmir? That region is under Pakistan's control.

As usual, ICC shamelessly bootlicked India.

Hope to see trophy in their hands again after the tournament
