They reaffirmed their unwavering resolve to host the entire tournament within Pakistan as planned.<br \/>\nThe PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Thursday once again reiterated the cricket board\u2019s stance against the hybrid model.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019re still clear in our stance that it\u2019s not acceptable that we play cricket in India, and they don\u2019t play cricket here. Whatever will happen, will happen on the basis of equality. We\u2019ve told the ICC very clearly, and what happens next we\u2019ll let you know,\u201d Naqvi stated.<br \/>\nShahid Afridi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account and backed Naqvi\u2019s stance in hosting the tournament completely in Pakistan. Meanwhile, he also urged the ICC to assert its authority against India.<br \/>\n\u201cBy intertwining politics with sports, the BCCI has placed international cricket in a precarious position,\u201d Afridi posted.<br \/>\n\u201cFully support the PCB\u2019s stance against the hybrid model \u2013 especially since Pakistan (despite security concerns) has toured India five times, including a bilateral white-ball series, post-26\/11. It\u2019s time for the ICC and its Board of Directors to uphold fairness and assert their authority.\u201d<br \/>\nFor the unversed, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has scheduled a crucial board meeting for November 29.<br \/>\nThe primary agenda will be to explore the future of the Champions Trophy 2025, which is slated to take place in Pakistan during the February-March window next year.<br \/>\nThe board members will weigh various options, including the possibility of implementing a hybrid model, relocating the event entirely to a neutral venue, or postponing the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Champions Trophy Karachi Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has voiced his strong support for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as it stands firm on its decision to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 entirely within Pakistan despite India\u2019s demand for adopting a hybrid model.
