Delhi: In the Champions Trophy, everyone is now protesting against Team India playing all matches on the same venue. From Australian captain Pat Cummins, many other players and former cricketers have also given their opinion on this issue. Now former India opener Wasim Jafar has given a befitting reply to this.
He says that the ICC should have organized India’s matches not only in Dubai, but also in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, so that the players can stay in different hotels. If this had happened, the rest of the players and former cricketers would not have any problem.
All matches in India in Dubai
Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 was hosted to Pakistan, but due to political reasons, Team India refused to go to Pakistan. Therefore, this tournament is being played on the hybrid model.
Sharjah -u had to keep matches in Dhabi
Wasim Jafar said about this, “The ICC should have kept a match of India in Sharjah and an Abu Dhabi, so that the players would have got a chance to check in different hotels. This does not arise this issue. If India does not want to go to Pakistan, then this is their option, but still sports between India and Pakistan are necessary. Without India, this tournament cannot be completed. “
13 thousand kilometers journey
He also reminded that in the 2023 World Cup, India traveled about 13 thousand kilometers within 35 days and played matches on 9 different venues. At that time no one raised this issue. Wasim Jafar said, “If we talk about the 2023 World Cup, India played all the matches on 9 different venue. India never played two consecutive matches, while the rest of the teams had to do so. We never talked about this. Finally, you have to play good cricket to win the tournament. “
