Indian Players Not Willing to Travel to Pakistan
A source told ABP News that none of the Indian players are willing to travel to Pakistan. While discussions are still ongoing, it is clear that India is not ready to travel to Pakistan. However, it is worth noting that the Pakistan cricket team visited India for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup last year, so further negotiations might take place.
India-Pakistan Match Scheduled in Lahore
Pakistan recently submitted the draft schedule for the Champions Trophy to the ICC, including plans for India-Pakistan matches in Lahore. The match was scheduled for March 1st. However, with the Indian team not traveling to Pakistan, these plans are now uncertain. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had planned to hold all Indian matches in Lahore, considering security concerns.
