PCB Denies Reports Suggesting Reschedule Of 2025 ICC Champions Trophy

By IANS News August 20, 2024 • 18:46 PM View: 798

The Pakistan Cricket Board: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has categorically denied the recent media reports suggesting that the dates for next year’s ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan might be rescheduled.

“It is disappointing that certain media outlets have misrepresented PCB Chair Mohsin Naqvi’s comments from yesterday’s media interaction, misleadingly quoting him on the potential change of dates for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to security concerns, thus creating unnecessary sensationalism,” read the statement on their website.

This news comes days after PCB confirmed that Pakistan’s second Test against Bangladesh, set to start on August 30, has been shifted from Karachi to Rawalpindi due to the deployment of heavy construction equipment and the need to adhere to tight redevelopment schedules for the National Bank Stadium, which is being prepared for next year’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
