Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has raised strong objection with the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) plans to promote the Champions Trophy in the country.
PCB had planned on initiating a trophy tour across regions in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). A day after the Pakistan board shared their plans for the tour on social media, the BCCI secretary swiftly swung into action and raised the matter with the global cricket body.
“Jay Shah has objected to that tweet [post] and has criticised and condemned PCB’s plan to take the trophy to PoK cities. Additionally, PCB has no business sharing the schedule because it has to come from the ICC.
Things need to be done appropriately, via appropriate channels,” says a source aware of developments.
PCB had shared the plan on social media on Thursday (November 14) and mentioned the cities of Skardu, Hunza and Muzaffarabad, which fall in the territory of PoK.
“Get ready, Pakistan! The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy tour kicks off in Islamabad on 16 November, also visiting scenic travel destinations like Skardu, Murree, Hunza and Muzaffarabad.
