According to the source, ICC has asked PCBaboutt the wathe y Sri Lanka A team is returning home and the situation of civil war has arisen in Pakistan, can the Champions Trophy be organized in Pakistan in such a situation? In response to this, the Pakistan Board has said that there are still three months left for the Champions Trophy. Therefore, it would not be right to take any decision on the current situation. According to the source, ICC will decide in the meeting on November 29 where and how to organize the Champions Trophy.

Let us tell you that the Sri Lankan team is on a tour of Pakistan. It played an unofficial test against Pakistan A. Now the ODI series was to be held but the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has called its team before that. Cricket lovers know that in 2009, the Sri Lankan team was attacked by terrorists in Pakistan. After this, all the teams in the world had almost stopped touring Pakistan. After many years, cricket teams started touring Pakistan but the concern of security always remained.

The Indian Cricket Board has also refused to participate in the proposed Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February-March next year. After India's refusal, there is talk of organizing the Champions Trophy in a hybrid model. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board is denying this. A big decision may be taken in this regard in the ICC meeting on June 29.
