Pakistan Kyu Nahi Aa Rahe? Fan Asks Suryakumar Yadav On India’s Champions Trophy Snub; SKY’s Honest Reply Goes Viral – Watch
In a significant development, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed its decision not to send the Indian cricket team to Pakistan for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, citing security concerns. The announcement has triggered a heated debate among cricket fans and former players across the globe, including in South Africa, as opinions remain divided over India’s refusal to tour Pakistan.
While the BCCI’s stance is driven by apprehensions regarding player safety, several former Pakistani cricketers argue that their country is as safe as any other international venue. The debate continues to gain momentum, not only within the sub-continent but also among fans worldwide.
The controversy even reached India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, who was recently confronted by a fan about the team’s decision not to tour Pakistan. During a candid interaction, the fan asked, “Mujhe ek baat bata saktein hai ke Pakistan kyu nahi aa rahe aap?” (Tell me why are you not coming to Pakistan?).
In his usual straightforward style, Suryakumar replied, “Arrey bhaiya, hamare hath mein thodi hai” (Brother, it is not in our hands). This honest response from the Indian captain reflects the reality that such decisions are made at higher administrative and governmental levels, beyond the control of the players.
Pakistan Fans asking India’s T20I Captain – Why won’t he come to Pakistan ?
Answer–He won’t be selected.
How will he go to Pakistan ?
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering drastic measures if India sticks to its refusal to participate. According to Dawn, one of the options being discussed by the Pakistani government is to instruct the PCB to pull out of the tournament entirely if India maintains its stance. The situation is being taken seriously by Pakistan’s authorities, who are determined to protect the nation’s right to host the prestigious event.
Amidst the growing diplomatic tension, sources suggest that the BCCI has proposed a potential “hybrid model” for the tournament. This format would allow India to play their matches at a neutral venue while the rest of the tournament proceeds in Pakistan. However, the PCB has yet to make any decisions on the matter, and no formal agreement has been reached so far.
The Champions Trophy, scheduled for 2025, was awarded to Pakistan as part of the ICC’s long-term commitment to expanding the sport in different regions. However, the ongoing impasse threatens the tournament’s successful execution. With both sides holding firm positions, the cricketing world remains uncertain about the future of one of the ICC’s most anticipated events.
As discussions between the BCCI, PCB, and ICC continue, the possibility of a resolution remains uncertain. The outcome will not only impact the Champions Trophy but could also set a precedent for future cricketing ties between India and Pakistan.
For now, fans and analysts await further developments, hoping that a compromise can be reached to ensure the tournament proceeds as planned, with all teams in attendance.
