Delhi: Controversy over the 2025 Champions Trophy is increasing. India’s team has got a chance to play all their matches in Dubai, while the rest of the teams will have to travel between three cities of Pakistan and Dubai. India refused to go to Pakistan due to security reasons, so this arrangement was made. Many experts have raised questions on this.
England captain Jose Butler has indicated a light gesture on the issue that this situation is not ideal, but he did not pay much attention to it.
Butler said in a press conference ahead of the match against Afghanistan, “No, I don’t mind it. This tournament is already unique, as a team is playing a separate place. But at the moment I am not paying much attention to it. My entire focus is on our preparation and next match. “
Former players also raised questions
Meanwhile, former England captain Michael Atherton raised the issue during a conversation on Sky Sports. He said, “India will only get the benefit of playing in Dubai. They will not have to travel, they will remain in one place, play on the same pitch, and they can also choose their team according to the circumstances there. ”
Nasir Hussain also agreed with this, saying, “This is definitely an advantage for India. They will get an opportunity to play on the same hotel, the same dressing room and the same pitch, which will help them a lot. ”
