" I can promise you, they ]are ] going to get looked after amazingly well. They are adored by fresh cricket fans.
Wasim Akram, a former Pakistani captain, thinks it will be a wonderful thing for cricket if India travels to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy in February of next year.
" I think whatever I'm reading, there are positive vibes from]the ] Indian government and]the ] BCCI", Akram said. They will probably enjoy most of their activities in Delhi, according to what I've read. They will probably come to Lahore and travel]back ] the same night. I'm most for it, as long as India is secure.
" And I can promise you, they ]are ] going to get looked after amazingly well. I mean, Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma ,]Hardik ] Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, they have fans in Pakistan. They are adored by fresh cricket enthusiasts.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is determined to host the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan for the entire period February 19 through March 9. Lahore, which is close to the American border and eases logistics and security challenges, has even been suggested that all of India's matches should take place there. American fans who want to pursue their team will receive about 17, 000 permits, according to the PCB. The last may be held in Lahore, as will any semi-final that India perform, if they qualify.
Akram expressed optimism that India had visit Pakistan for the Champions Trophy ahead of the six-match ODI and T20I journey that begins on Monday.
" People-to-people call is very important in this day and time, "he said". In this social media time, there's so much negativity all over the world, unwanted negativity in my opinion, and I think if India come, it will be excellent for cricket, and of course, it'll be excellent for Pakistan to."
India have never played an global match in Pakistan since 2008, and the UAE is believed to be the likeliest- though not simply- different venue should any part of the Champions Trophy be moved out. The BCCI did not send a team to Pakistan last year for the Asia Cup, prompting the game to be shifted to a hybrid design with the latter levels played in Sri Lanka.
However, Pakistan did not advance to India until the 2023 ODI World Cup, where they were eliminated from the semi-finals.
Earlier this month, the ECB's chief executive Richard Gould and head Richard Thompson, said that there are" lots of different options and circumstances accessible "in the event that India do certainly traveling to Pakistan, raising the possibility of a hybrid type being used.
The Champions Trophy may have eight groups, with two groups of four, followed by semi-finals and a last. The competing groups are Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa.
