Moin Khan Urges India on Champions Trophy 2025

Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan has expressed serious concerns regarding India's reluctance to travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, urging the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to take a firm stance if India continues to abstain. Khan called on Indian cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev to advocate for the separation of politics from sports, emphasizing that cricket should not be hindered by political issues. He highlighted that the absence of bilateral matches since 2012-13 has frustrated cricket fans and called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to ensure that India honors its commitments. The uncertainty surrounding India's participation is exacerbated by longstanding political tensions, as India has not visited Pakistan since 2006. Khan warned that if India fails to participate, Pakistan should reconsider its involvement in future events held in India. The ICC Champions Trophy remains a significant event, but its success hinges on resolving these political and diplomatic challenges.
