[Report] ICC approves the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy 2025 following an agreement between the PCB and BCCI [Post Updated #4739]

Now what’s the drama surrounding the opening ceremony?

Is Indian team coming or not?

What the IND media is saying?

All captain come in the opening ceremony. That is what is going on...Rohit might come but it seems far from reality atm
 
If Rohit can go...why couldn't we send our team and simply play there man? :facepalm:

I am sick of watching matches in low and slow Dubai pitches. Give me a Lahore type batting track any day. I am sure even Indian batters would love to bat there.

@Devadwal bro..we missed a golden opportunity.
No one is going anywhere .just some opinion which is spread across the border .

Yes indian player's would have love to bat on The Pakistan road but UAE is not a bad options for ODI cricket and we beat them there twice.

:kp
 
Why they even needs a opening ceremony . when was the last time a opening ceremony happened for a ICC tournaments??

:kp
whatever it is, Pakistan is very weak in hosting management. The ceremony will have local singers singing Pakistan Zindabad. Please NOO
 
It looks like Pakistan is in a race against time to get the venues ready despite having 4 years to prepare. Pathetic.

It's prudent for the ICC to shift the tournament to the UAE.

4 years? The ICC gave them 70 million $ back in July.

That’s when PCB started to work on their stadiums.
 
Not the point, the ICC gave PCB what 6-7 months to upgrade the stadiums to the standard required to host a major tournament.

The 70 mil could’ve been given earlier.
Let’s not forget all the commotion the Indians caused at the last minute, which wasted a lot of time. However, hopefully, everything will be completed before the end of the month.

Why do you always need handouts to start the work?

Isn't PCB supposed to have good international cricket stadiums?

Why would you expect a board that was banned from hosting games in their own country for almost 10 years to be financially stable?

Who said PCB is supposed to have good stadiums?

When was the last time PCB hosted a major event?

Why would you assume that PCB has the money to upgrade their stadiums to a standard that’s required to host an ICC tournament?

Some of the Indians need to chill out, we all saw how Potato Head Shah managed the World Cup 2 years ago.

It’s the first time we’re hosting a tournament after years, it’s been what 7-8 years since we got international cricket back home and you expect us to have stadiums fully upgraded.
 
like BVB said, Indian fans shouldn’t worry about how PCB manages the event, as if you’ll be travelling to the matches in Pakistan.

Worry about the hostels in Sharjah.
 
Tanvir Ahmed, speaking on a local sports channel:

"If Rohit Sharma comes to Pakistan, the whole world will point fingers and say, 'If Rohit Sharma can come, why didn’t you send the team?'"

"Why are you dragging this out for so long? Is the game still going on?"

"If he doesn’t come, you could still take a photo without Rohit Sharma. It would create quite an interesting situation."

"If Rohit Sharma isn’t in the photo, but the ceremony takes place, and India doesn’t make it to the semi-finals, that photo will become very significant."
