Former Pakistan fast bowler and commentator Wasim Akram is hopeful that India will travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. He emphasized that fans in Pakistan are eager to see stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma compete on their home turf.
As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 approaches, the Pakistan Cricket Board is busy making arrangements to host the participating teams. However, uncertainty lingers over whether India will travel to Pakistan. Addressing this concern, former pace bowler Wasim Akram expressed his hope that the Indian team will visit Pakistan for the prestigious tournament, emphasizing the excitement it would bring to fans and players alike.
In the statement, Wasim Akram said that:
I think from what I’m reading, there are positive vibes from the Indian government and the BCCI. I also read somewhere they might play all their games in Lahore. They’ll probably come to Lahore and travel back the same night. I’m all for it, as long as India is comfortable. I can promise you, they’re going to be looked after incredibly well. Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav have fans in Pakistan. Young cricket fans adore them.
Given the immense popularity of the Indian cricket team, players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Hardik Pandya are greatly admired by fans in Pakistan. As a result, they eagerly hope for the Indian team to visit and compete at their local stadiums, creating thrilling encounters.
The upcoming Champions Trophy will be organized into two groups, with four teams in each. Competing for the prestigious title will be a mix of cricketing nations, including Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Africa.
