Earlier, PCB president Mohsin Naqvi had arrived in London to support England. Now Pakistani journalists are also supporting him in this. After England, he took this matter to the United States and tried to get support for his team on this issue, but was disappointed.
What did America say about the Champions Trophy?
Pakistan is trying to put pressure on the Champions Trophy by blaming India’s stance at the global level. That is why a Pakistani journalist raised this question with the United States, considered the strongest country in the world, and wanted to know its position. But he had to face humiliation in front of everyone. In fact, during the State Department press conference, a Pakistani journalist told the US official that “this tournament is the second largest cricket event after the World Cup and it will be organized in Pakistan and the Indian team will participate in it.” “. but his government has prevented it. Due to political tension, the Indian team has not come to Pakistan since 2008.

After telling this, the journalist asked: ‘Do you think mixing politics with sports is a good idea? What is your opinion on this? ‘After this, the US official clearly denied any involvement in the matter. He said that this is a matter between two countries and he cannot say anything about it. India and Pakistan will have to resolve this issue between themselves. They cannot participate in this. However, he also stated that sport is undoubtedly a unifying force.
England supported
The England Cricket Board has great importance in the world of cricket. Therefore, after the dispute with the BCCI, Mohsin Naqvi had come to London to get their support. He met with ECB President Richard Thompson and sought his support. After the meeting, the ECB supported Pakistan on the Champions Trophy issue, albeit quietly.
Thompson had tried to cut off the issue of BCCI’s security concerns through gestures. He had said that the English team’s tour of Pakistan was wonderful. Thompson also extended his best wishes to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Following this, Naqvi assured Thompson that Pakistan has made all preparations and is fully prepared to successfully host the tournament.
