ICC Threatens to Shift Champions Trophy 2025 to Australia if Pakistan Doesn't Agree to India's Conditions

Islamabad, November 12, 2024 - The International Cricket Council (ICC) has sent a strong warning to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stating that if they fail to meet some key conditions related to their participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, the event may be shifted to Australia.

According to sources, the ICC is demanding that the PCB guarantees fair and transparent selection procedures for the national cricket team. If these conditions are not met, the ICC has warned that it will explore alternative options, including shifting the tournament to a different country.

Specifically, the ICC wants assurances that the PCB will maintain transparency in their selection processes and ensure that players are selected based on merit and performance rather than favoritism or nepotism.

The decision is seen as a threat from the ICC to Pakistan's cricketing board, with many analysts predicting that if they fail to comply, Australia will be next in line to host the tournament instead.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to take place from July 9 to August 2, 2025. However, it appears that the events are unfolding much sooner than expected, leaving fans and players alike anxiously waiting for news on this developing story.
