Challenges pile up for Pakistan ahead of CT 2025
Pakistan is staring at multiple hurdles and is racing against time to get things in order in hopes of hosting the Champions Trophy in 2025 as planned originally. From poor drainage system at stadiums to renovation work at two of the biggest venues with less than six months away, the PCB has a tall task at hands. Adding to this is the prospect of the ICC considering a hybrid model to host the tournament over India’s unwillingness to travel to Pakistan for the tournament.
While PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has remained optimistic about Pakistan hosting CT 2025 successfully, he has also been critical of the stadiums. The chairman himself admitted that none of the stadiums met the international standards.
