Team India has won the title in West Indies under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. The Indian team defeated South Africa in the final and lifted the T20 World Cup trophy. Now India's eyes are on the Champions Trophy. Pakistan will host this tournament to be held in 2025. However, there have been reports for many days that Team India will not go to Pakistan for this and BCCI has also proposed a hybrid model to ICC like the Asia Cup. Now BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has called all these reports rubbish. As soon as he said this, now there is hope of Indian team going to Pakistan.

What did Rajiv Shukla say?

Rajiv Shukla said that the news related to BCCI and India regarding the Champions Trophy is fake. He said that he does not know from which sources such information is being given. The BCCI Vice President further revealed that the board has not had any official talks with the ICC regarding Team India not going to Pakistan. Rajiv Shukla's statement is being considered a hint and fans are speculating that the Indian team may tour Pakistan. However, BCCI is yet to make an official statement on this.

The Pakistani media had made an even bigger claim about the Indian team. They said that the ICC will organise the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan at any cost. On the other hand, if India demands a hybrid model, then it will be excluded from the Champions Trophy and Sri Lanka will be included in the tournament, for which the Sri Lanka Cricket Board is waiting for the green signal from the ICC.

This demand came from Afghanistan

Afghanistan's big celebrity Wajama Ayubi had recently called Pakistan unsafe on social media. She had demanded that the ICC should make the Afghanistan team play matches outside Pakistan. She had cited the murder of a famous Pashto poet Gilman Wazir in broad daylight in Islamabad as the main reason behind this. Let us tell you that on 7 July, during a gathering in Islamabad, a violent mob attacked him. He was also stabbed with a knife, after which he died in the hospital.
