Delhi: During the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (ICC Champions Trophy 2025) being played in Pakistan, news of economic recession has started coming up. Even half the matches have not been played in the tournament, but the financial crisis for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started deepening. After the defeat against India, Pakistan has started harassing the danger of losing its major sponsors.
Pakistan lost by 60 runs against New Zealand in their first match, while India also defeated by 6 wickets and dropped the hosts out of the tournament. Due to these defeat, economic pressure on Pakistan cricket has increased further.
According to the news agency PTI, a source of PCB said that the enthusiasm of the fans was tremendous in the matches played outside Pakistan, but the real challenge is now that the remaining matches in the country also gathered at the crowd.
He said, “We will get our share in fees, ticket sales and ICC revenue in lieu of hosting the tournament, but some concerns remain intact. The biggest problem is that showing vacant seats in the stadium can make the tournament broadcast ineffective, which will affect the brand value of Pakistan cricket. ”
Questions are also being raised on the strategy of PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi. According to reports, he paid more attention to upgrade the stadiums of Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, but did not focus on preparing a strong team. This has now put a question mark on the future plans of Pakistan cricket.
