The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering a boycott of ICC events held in India if the BCCI continues to decline sending the Indian team to Pakistan for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. This ongoing political strain between Pakistan and India is now impacting the Champions Trophy, slated to be hosted by Pakistan, with potential financial consequences looming for the ICC. Tension escalated after India refused to visit Pakistan, and Pakistan countered by threatening to boycott ICC tournaments in India if this stance persists.

According to Cricket Pakistan, if India and Pakistan refuse to participate in events hosted by each other, the ICC could face substantial financial losses. India is set to host four major tournaments between 2024 and 2031, including the Women’s World Cup in 2025, the T20 World Cup in 2026, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2029, and the Cricket World Cup in 2031. However, Pakistan’s government policy of not permitting its team to travel to India may threaten Pakistan's participation in these events, which could have a significant impact on viewership. If Pakistan decides to withdraw from these tournaments, it could lead to a decline in broadcasting revenues. As quoted by GeoTV, a source said: “No India vs Pakistan games in ICC events mean all broadcast and sponsorship deals would fall out.” In recent years, the ICC has consistently scheduled at least one India-Pakistan clash at every major global cricket event to maximize revenue from these high-stakes matchups. It’s worth noting that the ICC is undoubtedly concerned and will go to great lengths to explore every possible alternative. If they miss this opportunity or if the PCB decides to withdraw from participation, the ICC could face substantial financial losses.
