The Champions Trophy: As Pakistan prepare to host its first ICC event in 29 years, the legendary batter Muhammad Yousuf has expressed his excitement and confidence in the national team’s ability to perform well on home soil.

The Champions Trophy, which kicks off with Pakistan’s clash against New Zealand at Karachi's National Stadium on Wednesday, is a significant moment for both the country and its cricketing future.

Yousuf praised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for its remarkable effort in renovating all the stadiums in record time, saying it was a testament to the board's dedication to improving the sport. “I am very excited like any Pakistani. After 29 years, Pakistan is hosting an ICC event,” Yousuf told Samaa TV.
