ICC Champions Trophy 2025 : Why is Pakistan begging in front of India
Captains' photo session with the trophy is to be held in Pakistan
Like every ICC event, the opening ceremony of the Champions Trophy, the captains' photo session with the trophy and the press conference are to be held in host Pakistan. Rohit Sharma's visit to Pakistan for the pre-event of the tournament is not yet confirmed. The Pakistan Cricket Board is quite upset about this.
Indian Cricket Control Board is angry over not sending captain Rohit Sharma
Its officials are angry over not sending captain Rohit Sharma of the Indian Cricket Board. The ICC Champions Trophy is to begin on February 19. Before this, there will be an opening ceremony in Pakistan, in which the captains of all the teams have to participate. However, since the Indian team is not traveling to Pakistan, there is no update on Rohit Sharma's visit to Pakistan.
India does not want to send its captain too
Pakistan fears that just like the team, India does not want to send its captain too. The Indian team will play the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan on February 23 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, while before that it has to play with Bangladesh on February 20. Regarding this, a Pakistani official told IANS - The Board of Control for Cricket in India is bringing politics into cricket,
Why is Pakistan hell bent on calling Rohit Sharma to Pakistan at any cost
Which is not a good thing for the game. It refused to send the team to Pakistan. Now it does not want to send its captain too. Now there is a report that the name of the host will not be on his jersey either. We hope that the ICC will intervene in this matter and support Pakistan. The most interesting thing here is why is Pakistan hell bent on calling Rohit Sharma to Pakistan at any cost.
Will try to prove those claims of India wrong
Actually, if Rohit Sharma travels to Pakistan, then after that it will claim that see, the captain of India came and returned safely. With this, India will try to prove wrong those claims that Team India will not go to Pakistan due to security reasons. The Indian Cricket Board knows Pakistan. Rohit's going to Pakistan also depends on this. He knows what Pakistan's intentions are. This is the reason why no statement has been issued by the BCCI. However, Rohit's going to Pakistan also depends on what updates the Indian government and its security agencies give. It is worth mentioning that the Indian Cricket Board has recently announced a team of 15 players. Rohit Sharma is the captain of the team, while Shubman Gill is the vice-captain. Mohammed Shami has returned to the team, while Mohammed Siraj has been dropped. Yashasvi Jaiswal has been selected in the team for the ODI format for the first time.
