00:00Will there be an ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan or not?
00:05Pakistan's Cricket Board, Pakistan's sources, or the facts are saying something else,
00:12while India's top journalists are making or trying to make some other story.
00:20Today, a statement came out from one of India's top sports journalists, Vikrant Gupta,
00:28and, God willing, our Pakistan media presented his wish, his analysis,
00:34as a very big news in their headlines,
00:39in which Vikrant Gupta said that 99.9% is likely that the Indian team is not going to Pakistan.
00:50Now, this is just his wish or analysis,
00:54but the way Pakistan's media has highlighted this is understandable.
01:01Now, there are two to three things to tell here,
01:05that why Pakistan's Cricket Board is in a safe zone,
01:08and why Pakistan's position is strong,
01:12and which two dangerous and big weapons does Pakistan have to respond to this,
01:20which you can say are two big cards,
01:23which can force the BCCI and the ICC to bow their heads.
01:28Now, let's come to the first situation.
01:31The first thing is that in Sri Lanka, the meeting that took place from 19 July to 22 July,
01:38the budget for the ICC Champions Trophy 2024-25 was accepted.
01:46Now, the Indian government did not make any fuss here,
01:50that no such thing has come up in the meeting,
01:53no one has opposed it.
01:55If the Indian board was so sure that they would not play in Pakistan,
02:02then the first thing they said is that why did they allow the budget to be accepted.
02:06Now, the answer to this is that some additional budget has also been accepted,
02:11so that if some matches have to be played under the hybrid model,
02:16then a separate budget should be there for it.
02:19Now, the eyes of India's top analysts are on the ICC meeting next week,
02:26in which it will be decided that under which model will the ICC Champions Trophy be held in 2025,
02:33whether all the matches will be in Pakistan or not.
02:36This decision will have to be finalized.
02:39But the important thing is that the BCCI is not convinced just by saying.
02:45If it was to be said, then the BCCI has not only booked hotels for other teams,
02:50but also for India.
02:53That is, when the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held,
02:57then the Indian team will stay in the hotel in Lahore,
03:00its booking has also been done.
03:03So this means that the BCCI is not just shooting arrows in the air,
03:07they are sure what is going to happen.
03:10And on the other hand, what are the opinions of India?
03:15When they say to their officials,
03:19like Rajiv Shukla said,
03:22we have no problem, we have never said that we are not going.
03:25But the media there is doing such things continuously,
03:30what are the opinions, spreading such rumors,
03:33with which it is tried to create an impression that the Indian team will not come to Pakistan.
03:38Harbhajan Singh and some other famous players have come up with such statements.
03:47But now the important thing is that when the Asia Cup was taking place in Pakistan,
03:53and some matches were transferred to Sri Lanka under the hybrid model,
03:57in fact, most of the matches were transferred to Sri Lanka.
04:00So at that time, the important delegation of the ICC was present in Pakistan.
04:06They convinced Pakistan to go to India to play the World Cup 2023.
04:12They also guaranteed that when the ICC Champion Trophy will be held in Pakistan in 2025,
04:18they guarantee that the Indian team will come to Pakistan without any hesitation.
04:24And certainly, if the ICC has given this guarantee,
04:27it would not have been based on itself, it would have been based on talking to the Indian board.
04:32So now the Pakistan Cuckoo board has repeated the same thing to them,
04:36that when you came here, you made this promise,
04:41that promise has been reminded that now this is your headache.
04:45You take India as the 8th team, take Sri Lanka, take the West Indies, it is our balance.
04:52Whomever you take, we have no tension.
04:55This has been made clear on the ICC.
04:58And the ICC is now under pressure in two ways.
05:01Suppose if the Indian team refuses to come to Pakistan,
05:07and Pakistan and India are in the same group,
05:10and for this reason, the ICC has to get a very big revenue,
05:15then it will be in a dilemma.
05:17And the person who is going to work here,
05:20which I had said that PCBK has two options,
05:23one of them is that he should convince the ICC that
05:29if the Indian team does not come to Pakistan to play the ICC Champion Trophy 2025,
05:35then we will also not play our match outside Pakistan.
05:40This should be the clear message.
05:42And this is also the basic idea in my opinion,
05:45that why should we go out to play the Champion Trophy match in our country,
05:51whether it is a semi-final, final or any other match,
05:54then India will have to come here and play.
05:57And suppose if Pakistan's round is played in Dubai or somewhere else,
06:02then Pakistan clearly refuses to play.
06:05So for this reason, the purpose of the ICC will not be fulfilled,
06:09and the ICC will come under pressure.
06:11And the second card, then the Pakistan Cricket Board will clearly say that
06:16if the Indian team does not come here,
06:19then Pakistan will also not go to India to play the T20 World Cup next year.
06:29So these are two simple things that the Pakistan Cricket Board should do.
06:34Now let's come to the rest of the issues that are being repeatedly raised,
06:39that sometimes Harbhajan Singh stands up to give a statement,
06:43sometimes someone comes and says that Pakistan is not safe.
06:46Now he does not feel ashamed that the other seven teams are safe here.
06:51We have never seen such a cowardly nation.
06:55They are so scared.
06:57They are afraid to go everywhere,
06:59that this should not happen from here, this should not happen from here.
07:02So I do not understand how they play cricket.
07:05They are so scared of losing,
07:08if they do not have such a heart,
07:10when there are six teams in the world,
07:12including Australia, New Zealand and England,
07:15South Africa is included,
07:17which is the most security conscious.
07:20They give the most importance to security issues in this regard.
07:24When they are ready to come here and play,
07:27rather they have played and gone,
07:29and South Africa has toured,
07:31the Australian team has come here,
07:33the English team has come three times,
07:35the New Zealand team has come twice,
07:37then India does not know what fear is.
07:40This is the fear that if we lose to Pakistan in our own conditions,
07:45then they have only one problem,
07:48because if you look at the overall record of one day,
07:50then even today Pakistan's victories are more than India.
07:53We are also more in the test format.
07:55They have achieved more successes in T20.
07:58This is a strange and unique thing,
08:00that when we play the ICC or ISAC Cup event,
08:03then our successes against India are very low,
08:06their ratio is low,
08:08but if we play like that,
08:10then our track record is more than India even today.
08:13Even today we have won more one day matches.
08:15And the last one day series that was played,
08:17was played on Indian soil,
08:19even in that Pakistan was about to clean sweep them.
08:23I don't know what happened in the last match,
08:25Pakistan could not chase the target of 168 runs.
08:28Otherwise, in the first two matches,
08:30the way Pakistan defeated them,
08:32after that clean sweep was almost not visible.
08:35So these are the results of the mutual series.
08:38That's why the Indian board will try their best
08:41to take this image from there,
08:43that there should not be ICC champion trophy in Pakistan.
08:46But I think,
08:48with the confidence that PCB has made,
08:51surely they will convince the ICC,
08:54that if India comes, it should come,
08:56if not, then go to hell.
