New Delhi. Pakistan Cricket Board is trying its best to invite India to play in the Champions Trophy. PCB has made a strange proposal to BCCI in this regard. Pakistan says that if the Indian team wants, it can return to India on the same day after playing the match. This clearly shows that PCB wants to invite India to its place at any cost. Because he also knows that if the Indian team tours Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, it will be a profitable deal for him.
The PCB has approached the BCCI and proposed an arrangement under which if India does not want to stay in Pakistan during next year's Champions Trophy due to security reasons, it can travel to New Delhi or Chandigarh in between the matches. Can return from anywhere. The PCB has verbally suggested to the BCCI that the Indian team can camp in New Delhi or Chandigarh or Mohali and use a special flight to Lahore for its matches.

Suggestion not given in writing
A PCB source, however, confirmed to PTI on Friday that the board has not given any suggestion in writing. The source said, 'But yes, it is true that these options have been discussed verbally among the officials so that it can be ensured that India plays its matches in Pakistan.' The Champions Trophy will be held from February 19 to March 9 in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi.
India will refuse to go to Pakistan!
PCB is mentally prepared for the fact that India may refuse to come to play the Champions Trophy but it is not ready to move the final to be held on March 9 out of Lahore. Even if India qualifies for it. The issue of the Champions Trophy final may also come up in the meeting of the board members of the International Cricket Council to be held in Dubai from 18 to 21 October.
PCB wants to organize the tournament in Pakistan
A PCB source said, 'PCB's first choice and priority is that the entire tournament should be held in Pakistan. But the board is also mentally prepared for this that the Indian government will not send their team here and India's matches will be held in UAE. PCB wants the final to be held in Lahore only. Even if India reaches the final, the PCB would want the match to be held in Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been halted since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 175 people were killed and around 300 were injured.
