Delhi: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was full of controversies from the beginning to the end. Even when India celebrated the victory, there was a dispute in Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Fans notices that no representative of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was present in the trophy ceremony, while Pakistan was the host of this tournament.
Even more attention was paid when the three chief officers in the trophy ceremony were Indians – ICC President Jai Shah, BCCI President Roger Binny and BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia. Questions arose on why no PCB officer was there.
A ICC spokesperson said in a conversation with India Today, “Mohsin Naqvi was not available and could not travel. According to the agreement, only high officials can join the trophy ceremony, so no one could come from PCB. ”
PCB will talk to ICC
Although Pakistan was host, but all matches in India were played in Dubai due to security reasons. For this reason, the final, which was to be originally in Lahore, was held in Dubai.
According to a report, PCB CEO Faisal Hasnain was present in Dubai at the time, but was not invited to join the match or trophy ceremony. The report also said that PCB would talk to the ICC in this case, as this whole situation happened due to misunderstanding.
A source told PTI, “PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi was busy with his government work, but PCB sent CEO Faisal Hasnain to Dubai to represent Pakistan.”
