Why are you not coming to Pakistan for Champions Trophy? Suryakumar responds to Pakistani fan
Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has responded to a question asked by a Pakistani fan about not coming to Pakistan to play in the Champions Trophy.
A video has gone viral on social media, in which Surya is seen standing in a gaming zone with fellow cricketer Rinku Singh, surrounded by fans. A Pakistani fan asked Suryakumar, "Why are you not coming to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy?"
The Indian captain replied, "It is not in our hands."
The Indian team is currently playing the T20 series against South Africa in Africa.
Earlier, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said that the decision to go to Pakistan or not is not in the players' hands; both boards will decide. Rohit said, "Our focus is on the Champions Trophy; if we get permission to visit Pakistan, we have no issue."
India has decided not to come to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan in February next year, while the Pakistani government has asked it to boycott the matches if India does not come.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started considering the Minus India formula by adopting a strict stance on the decision of the Indian Cricket Board not to send its team to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy.
If the India-Pakistan dispute over the Champions Trophy is not resolved, ICC will also suffer financial loss. Pakistan's policy against Indian behaviour will affect the ICC's income in the current cycle.
India is scheduled to host 4 ICC events from 2024 to 2031. The Pakistani government's policy of not sending a team to India may make it impossible for Pakistan to participate in these events. There has also been a stir in the ICC since the current position of the Pakistani government.
India is scheduled to host the Women's World Cup next year, the T20 World Cup in 2026, the Champions Trophy in 2029 and the World Cup in 2031. Pakistan's withdrawal from these events will affect the ICC's broadcast revenue.
The BCCI has informed ICC that the Indian team will not go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.
