After a poor tour of Australia Rohit will also leave Pakistan without scoring a run.

No one is going anywhere .just some opinion which is spread across the border .If Rohit can go...why couldn't we send our team and simply play there man?
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.
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.

If he goes to Pakistan than Pakistan can take him along with Kohli as we don't need them anymore

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.

Why did they wait for ICC money ? A national cricket board can't even maintain a cricket stadium on their own ?

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?

Event Budget: $70m (includes prize money, team logistics, and broadcast costs), jointly managed by the PCB and ICC.
Event Hosting Fee: $6m, which also covers event insurance ($1.5m).

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.

Did I say that PCB used ALL of the budget given to them to upgrade the stadiums?

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."

India-Pakistan game in Dubai 'makes a farce' of Champions Trophy, Agnew says
When Pakistan takes on India in their blockbuster Champions Trophy clash tonight, the game will be played at a neutral venue, in a move described as farcical by former England Test player and commentator Jonathan Agnew.
Despite Pakistan hosting, India is playing all its games in the 50-over tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates.
It comes after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to play in Pakistan as a global cricket tournament returns to the country for the first time since a 2009 terrorist attack against the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
An agreement was reached last year between the BCCI, International Cricket Council (ICC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) do not have to play in the other country at any ICC tournaments through 2027.
That includes this year's men's Champions Trophy and women's Cricket World Cup in August and September, as well as next year's men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
Agnew said it was "just not right" that India was getting favourable treatment in the tournament, which would see the giants of world cricket also play their semifinal at the Dubai venue.
"I feel very uncomfortable about the way that India is being treated at the moment," he told ABC Sport.
"I don't see how long this can carry on for? It makes a farce of these tournaments," he added.
Pakistan opened the tournament with a 60-run loss to New Zealand in Karachi on Wednesday, before travelling to Dubai to take on India tonight, then returning to Rawalpindi to take on Bangladesh on Thursday.
Australia is playing its three group matches in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi, while India remains in the UAE, having beaten Bangladesh by six wickets in their first clash.
"How can the home team, hosting its first international tournament for so long, be playing the biggest match of the tournament away from home?" Agnew said.
"It's not right."
Political tensions between Pakistan and India have long bled onto the cricket pitch, especially since Sri Lanka's team was attacked in a terrorist attack in 2009.
Pakistan toured India in 2012/13 but India last travelled to Pakistan for the Asia Cup in 2008. At the 2023 Asia Cup hosted by Pakistan, India played its matches in Sri Lanka.
"It just can't carry on like this," Agnew said.
"[Cricket's] shooting itself in the foot because two of the main teams aren't playing each other purely through politics. It's a great shame."
Pakistan and India now only play against each other in global ICC tournaments, and faced off in the 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with the PCB filing an official complaint with the ICC after the game "regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad" from the crowd.
Ahead of their headline-grabbing clash in Dubai, former Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq said he hoped his former team "take a stand and teach them a lesson".
"[The BCCI's] tantrums just don't end. … Children here [in Pakistan] want to see Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Every child here wants to see them in action, but their tantrums just don't end," he told Pakistan's 24 Digital Channel.
"I don't know in which world they are living in and what they want to achieve."
Ironically, the 2025 Champions Trophy is the first ICC event hosted by Pakistan since co-hosting the 1996 World Cup with India and Sri Lanka.
