The ICC titleholders jewel is set to mark its return in 2025 after an absence of eight times. The last time the titleholders jewel event was held was back in 2017 when Pakistan defeatedarch-rivals India in the competition’s final.
The returning event edition will now be hosted by the defending titleholders Pakistan in February 2025.
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England and India are the good nations for the event, courtesy of their rankings in the ODI World Cup 2023.
still, there have been enterprises that India might not travel to Pakistan and rather, might ask to play their matches at a neutral venue, in another country.
According to earlier reports, BCCI are doubtful to allow the Indian justice platoon to travel to Pakistan for the titleholders jewel 2025. India have n’t visited the neighbouring country since sharing in the Asia Cup 2008 due to simulated political relations.
Indian Express reported that the BCCI’ve communicated with the PCB( Pakistan Cricket Board) have cited security enterprises and expressed the desire to play their matches in Dubai( UAE).
The report further stated that BCCI had made the decision after discussion with the Indian government.
” This comes after expedients were raised about justice normality returning to the region following last month’s meeting between India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting at Islamabad,” the report said.
” In the fate of this cordial meeting, thaw sounded to be on cards and resumption of justice ties were suspected. It was said that Pakistan’s Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, who’s also PCB Chairman, was also in circle. tales for India traveling to Pakistan for the titleholders jewel were heard in the politic corridors.” the Indian Express report added.
In case India does n’t travel to Pakistan coming time, ICC had before started milling over conducting the event in a mongrel model analogous to how ACC hosted the Asia Cup last time in Pakistan in Sri Lanka, according to Indian Express’s before report.
