Tejaswi Yadav on Champions Trophy 2025: The stand of the Indian government is clear that it will not send its cricket team to Pakistan. The atmosphere is heating up with BCCI and PCB coming face to face on the Champions Trophy. This is the reason why the schedule of the Champions Trophy has not been revealed till now. Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has targeted the Indian government and said that what is the problem in sending Team India to Pakistan. He says that politics should be kept away from sports.
According to ANI, Tejashwi Yadav said, “It is not a good thing to link politics with sports. Doesn’t everyone participate in the Olympics? Then why should the Indian team not go to Pakistan? If Prime Minister Modi goes there to eat biryani, then it is good to go there, but Indian Why is it not good for the cricket team to go there?” The biryani incident that Tejashwi Yadav is referring to is from the year 2015 when PM Modi went on Pakistan tour.
The Indian team has not toured Pakistan to play cricket since the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008. At the same time, no bilateral series has been played between the two countries since 2012-2013. After that, India and Pakistan have come face to face only in ICC tournaments and Asia Cup. Let us tell you that BCCI Vice President and veteran leader Rajiv Shukla had made it clear that the Board of Control for Cricket in India will fully recognize the decision of the Government of India for India’s foreign tours.
Where will the Champions Trophy be held, when will it start and will a hybrid model be adopted for it or not? ICC has called a board meeting on 29 November to discuss these issues. Probably the schedule of Champions Trophy can also be finalized very soon.
