Should PCB boycott ICC Champions Trophy 2025 if ICC demands a hybrid model to please BCCI?

[cricketjoshila]

Seems like the world’s totally fine playing without India in Pakistan, but meanwhile, some Indians are over here arw like,

“Oh no, please include us! Our government won’t let us play in Pakistan, so maybe just move the whole tournament somewhere else?”

So now it's up to the PCB to decide if they’ll listen to these bachare Indians' pleas.

World is equal to Pakistan?

Still no bent knees in sight.

Go and check. How many times Aus and NZ have met in last few ICC events.

Don't forget the new one, SL and BD. Seems like recently they too are being put in the same group

PCB should boycott the india games only not the whole CT. Makes no sense

Why not ask the ICC if they will allow you to pick and choose matches?

Why not ask BCCI to come and play instead of trying to shift the whole event for their own selfishness???

Given BCCI clout in this matter, Pakistan should get on with the Hybrid Model, but make sure enough games in Pakistan and just India games in UAE etc

As a sign of protest, Pakistan should boycott the whole CT.

If you boycott only against India then it shows you weak and lack of strong principle.

I don't mind India dropping out of CT. Ideally Pakistan should go ahead and conduct tournament without India. Sure there will be financial implications. But that is expected. Can't do much about it.

I think it will ultimately result in a hybrid model with Pakistan and India playing the final in Dubai.

Just to be fair, why not the ICC tell BCCI to take a hike, get SL in and keep the event in Pakistan?

That boat has already sailed and the PCB is not in it.

PCB has been agreeing to play BCCI in ICC events for over a decade. Add to that all the various statements by PCB officials about series with India.

Very optimistic post. I don't think either team will make the final.

This time it is different.

Pakistan is host. That carries a lot of gravity.

Pakistan should boycott the whole tournament (not just match vs India) to take a moral stand and stand up against the corporate evil which is ICC.

Under no circumstances, PCB should agree to this model.

You are given a hosting right. Now you have to share because some x, y, z country doesn't want to visit? How is that your problem?

If that is the case, you shouldn't have been given hosting right in the first place!

Thats a big insult from ICC to PCB. and thus PCB should stand on its ground and refuse to make any compromise which may put dent in the moral and ethical standing.
