Former Pak legend's statement on Champions Trophy controversy
The tussle between india and pakistan continues over the ICC Champions Trophy. bcci demands that the Champions Trophy be played on a hybrid model. india has refused to send its team to pakistan due to security reasons. Now a statement has come from former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali. Basit ali has put forth his point in the ongoing controversy between india and pakistan over the Champions Trophy. Basit ali believes that only if the tournament is played on a hybrid model, then there is a possibility of both india and pakistan playing. If the tournament is not played on a hybrid model, then the chances of both countries playing are less.
Basit ali said on his YouTube channel that if cricket is to continue and the hybrid model is to be maintained, then keep pakistan in one pool and india in another pool, but neither the ICC nor the broadcasters will be happy with this, because it is an opportunity to earn money. He said that the world is stupid because india and pakistan are kept in one group. Similarly, australia and england are kept in the same pool, but Basit ali has a different opinion. Basit ali believes that India-Pakistan match is necessary for cricket.
It is worth noting that bcci is constantly demanding that ICC Champions Trophy be organized on a hybrid model. Under this model, the indian team will play its matches at a neutral venue, but all other matches will be played in Pakistan. At the same time, pakistan cricket Board is constantly rejecting the demand of bcci and India. pakistan says that it is the host country of the tournament, so there is no question of hybrid model. Recently, india made it clear that we will not send our team to Pakistan. After this, the debate between the two countries is continuing.
