With the most recent rumour from Pakistani media claiming that incumbent president Najam Sethi would be travelling to Dubai tomorrow for an Asian Council Meeting, as relations between the BCCI and PCB are rapidly deteriorating.
According to claims that have since surfaced from various sources, they would maintain a hard position for their participation in the upcoming World Cup in 2023.
With reference to India’s participation in the Champions Trophy 2025, which would be hosted by Pakistan, they will require written assurance from the BCCI and ICC.
In relation to the Champions Trophy, the PCB would not travel to India for the World Cup in 2023 if BCCI and ICC do not give written consent for India’s participation in upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 which is scheduled in Pakistan.
“Sethi has recently met with some government officials and also obtained advice from them on whether Pakistan should play in the Asia Cup if it is not held in Lahore and Dubai as proposed by the PCB under its hybrid model plan to the ACC,” the source said.
“Sethi is expected to make it very clear to the ACC members that either they accept Pakistan’s hybrid proposal or the PCB will not take part in the competition this year if it is moved from Pakistan.
