Former President of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Ehsan Mani, expressed his disappointment in the way the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy was managed. He said that things were in the eleventh hour and that it was a great gap on the part of the global body.
The ICC 2025 champions trophy concluded last week and saw that India won the tournament. The tournament was held in two different countries of Pakistan: Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi- and United Arab Emirates-Dubai, where the side led by Rohit Sharma played all its games, including the semifinal and end.
BCCI did not agree to send India to Pakistan for CPI 2025 Champions Trophy
The BCCI did not agree to send India to Pakistan for the ICC 2025 champions trophy and there were many debates related to it. Both the PCB and the BCCI were involved in a great deal of annoyance, and eventually led the ICC to stage the tournament in the hybrid model.
When India played all its games in Dubai, he saw many fans and experts criticized the India and ICC team. They mentioned that blue men had an unfair advantage of playing in a place, and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was devised to help them win.
This was left in the eleventh hour, was wrong of the ICC for not treating this very, much earlier – Ehsan Mani
Ehsan Mani, who served as President of the PCB from 2018 to 2021, spoke of how the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy was staged. He said that ICC was conscious for a long time that India would not travel to Pakistan and that his focus on facing the subject in the eleventh hour was wrong. Speaking to Hindustan Times, said:
“ The way it was managed is very disappointing. The responsibility of this is with the ICC. When they assigned events in India and Pakistan, knowing current relationships between countries, then the UNUS was in full at the ICC to ensure that the event and the problems that took place had been treated a lot, long before the tournament really began. ”
“This was in the eleventh hour. He was wrong of the CPI for not treating much, much earlier. He got both together and finding an ICC solution, not a PCB or BCCI solution.”
The pitch was the same for all teams playing – Ehsan Mani
Ehsan Mani also spoke of India’s conversations with an unfair advantage of playing in a place. He mentioned that the pitch was the same for all the teams playing and it makes no sense to be critical. Said:
“The pitch was the same for all the teams playing. Yes, BCCI played in a field for all these games, but this was something that the ICC had decided from the beginning they would make. It has no sense of being critical of it later.”
