During a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Naqvi emphasized the PCB’s commitment to putting Pakistan cricket first.
“Our stance is very clear,” he declared. “I promise we’ll do what is best for Pakistan cricket. I’m constantly in touch with the ICC chairman, and my team is talking to them constantly.”
“We’re still clear in our stance that it’s not acceptable that we play cricket in India, and they don’t play cricket here. Whatever will happen, will happen based on equality. We’ve told the ICC very clearly, and what happens next we’ll let you know,” Mohsin Naqvi added.

“Whatever we do, we will make sure the best outcome for Pakistan is achieved. But I repeat, and I am sure you know what I mean, it’s not possible that Pakistan play in India, and they don’t come here.”
For the unversed, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has scheduled a crucial board meeting for November 29.
The primary agenda will be to explore the future of the Champions Trophy 2025, which is slated to take place in Pakistan during the February-March window next year.
The board members will weigh various options, including the possibility of implementing a hybrid model, relocating the event entirely to a neutral venue, or postponing the tournament.
