Former Skipper Rashid Latif Calls For Champions Trophy Boycott

The issue of the venue of the Champions Trophy is still not over; some day or the other, former players come up with their own opinions on the same

Now Pakistan’s former skipper Rashid Latif made a big statement regarding the Champions Trophy 2025, stating that the tournament should not happen anymore

He wants Pakistan to boycott the tournament before BCCI takes some drastic step

Earlier the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) demanded a hybrid model for all the tournaments that will be taking place in India in the future

This happened after India asked for this in the Champions Trophy due to security reasons in Pakistan

However, BCCI rejected the hybrid model as there is no security concern in India

In a recently concluded event, Latif stated that it’s high time for Pakistan to take a firm stand on their decision

“Pakistan should boycott the Champions Trophy now. Before the BCCI takes this step, the PCB should take it. The Champions Trophy shouldn’t happen anymore.”

“We have always been made scapegoats, be it in the Afghan war or cricket. PCB, ACB, and ICC are the same as they can’t fight against the BCCI. They have the chance to push Pakistan to the front. We have joined hands and are fighting against it, but the only fear is that if India boycotts, where do we stand?
