The problems of Pakistan Cricket Board are not ending. The board was still trying to fix the turmoil in the team when another bad news came for it. This has caused a lot of embarrassment to the board. Pakistan is going to host the Champions Trophy in 2025. At the same time, the players of the team have been constantly demanding a salary hike. It needs money for all these things, currently the board is struggling for funds. For funds, PCB wanted to sell its international rights, but no one is ready to buy it.

I can't even get half the price

According to a Pakistani sports journalist, PCB has been trying to sell the international rights of Pakistan cricket team's matches for a period of time. It is struggling a lot for this. The board has already cancelled the bid several times because the broadcasters are not ready to pay even half of the price it has asked for.

Reportedly, PCB is struggling to sell its international rights for next 3 years, having to suspend the bid process repeatedly due to companies failing to meet the reserve price. It didnt even come close to 50% of what the PCB is expecting. This is a big embarrassment. Pakistan

Why are the rights not being sold?

Many reasons have been given for not selling the rights of Pakistan's match. The team's continuously declining performance is believed to be the biggest reason for this. Apart from this, the constantly changing chairman and other officials within the board have also damaged the image of the board.

Big question on Champions Trophy

Whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for 2025 from the Champions Trophy or not remains the biggest question at the moment. Statements are being made on this issue, although ICC, PCB and BCCI have not yet given any official statement. According to reports, Team India wants to play the Champions Trophy once again under the hybrid model like the Asia Cup. At that time also Pakistan was the host but Team India played its matches in Sri Lanka. Even the final was held in Colombo.
