The controversy over the Champions Trophy 2025 is not coming to an end. India has refused to go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. After this, the ICC had asked Pakistan to consider the hybrid model.
But the Pakistan Cricket Board has refused to play on this model. After which questions are being raised about Pakistan's hosting. If the hosting of the Champions Trophy is taken away from PCB, then information about how much loss it will incur has also come to light.
How much loss will PCB suffer?
According to a report by Cricbuzz, if any tournament is postponed or shifted to another country, in such a condition ICC can ban PCB. Along with this ICC will also cut funding. If it is withdrawn.
Not only this, the report says that taking away the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy or postponing it will directly mean that the hosting fee will not be paid. ICC gets 65 million US dollars (about 550 crores) as a hosting fee. ICC has told PCB that Team India will not tour Pakistan. India has refused to go to Pakistan due to security reasons.
If not in Pakistan, where can the Champions Trophy be played?
If Pakistan loses the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy, then which country can the ICC give the hosting rights to? A recent media report has claimed that if such a situation arises, South Africa can be given the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy. There has been a lot of controversy over the Champions Trophy due to India not going to Pakistan.
If there is a loss, it will also affect the salaries of the players. After the ODI World Cup, many media reports came. In which it was said that PCB had not paid the salaries to the players for a long time. If such a situation arises, it will have a big impact on the salaries of Pakistani players.
