Provide compensation and sign hosting rights if India declines to visit Pakistan for CT 2025. PCB recommends ICC. In an appeal to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to sign the Champions Trophy 2025 hosting rights agreements with it, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) insisted that it should get payment should India decline to play in the nation on the grounds of political and security.
The PCB has failed to sign the crucial hosting agreement with Pakistan, despite the fact that the ICC has designated Pakistan as the tournament’s host, according to a very trustworthy source that PTI spoke with on November 26.
The source revealed that in order to negotiate Pakistan’s hosting of the Champions Trophy in February and March of 2025, PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf and COO Salman Naseer met with the ICC executive board in Ahmedabad.

“Pakistani officials made it clear that the ICC must refrain from making unilateral decisions regarding the tournament in any given situation and discussed the likelihood that the Indian board (BCCI) would again refuse to send its team to Pakistan,” the source added.
The global organisation should designate an independent security agency, he claimed, if India declines to play in Pakistan for security reasons. This was the message conveyed to the ICC by PCB officials.

Additionally, the PCB stated that in order to evaluate the security status of the participating teams, including India, the agency might communicate with Pakistani government and security authorities.
According to PCB authorities, there have been no security issues throughout the past two years’ tours of Pakistan by several elite teams.
“They also made it clear that the ICC would have to reimburse Pakistan if India failed to send a team and the matches were rescheduled to another nation,” the source continued.
