Champions Trophy Can't Happen Without India, Right Decision By Govt Not To Travel To Pakistan: Aakash Chopra
ICC Champions Trophy: Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said that next year's Champions Trophy, scheduled to be played in Pakistan, can't happen without India's participation in the tournament. He further backed the Indian government's decision not to send the national cricket team to Pakistan due to security and political tensions between the neighbours.
After India refused to travel to Pakistan, the ICC Champions Trophy's future hangs in balance with the final call regarding its schedule to be made in the ICC Board meeting on Friday. Amid India's objection to travel to Pakistan, the tournament will likely be played in a 'hybrid model' with India playing its matches at a neutral venue.
"The right choice should be made and it is beyond our understanding what would be the right call. India's travel to Pakistan is not decided by the BCCI but by the Indian government. If they have decided not to travel to Pakistan then it is completely right. Wherever it (Champions Trophy) will be played, it can't happen without India," Chopra told IANS on Thursday.
