LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ramiz Raja believes that hosting Champions Trophy 2025 will be a huge booster for the country’s cricket.
In a video interview after ICC confirmed giving hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025 to Pakistan, Ramiz said it will be a major breakthrough for every cricket fan and follower in the country.
“I am pleased no-end with the ICC’s decision to select Pakistan as a host nation for one of their elite tournaments. By allocating a major global event to Pakistan, the ICC has expressed complete confidence and faith in our management and operational capabilities and skills,
“We have continued to demonstrate how a great host we are and through the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, we will again showcase our passion and love for the sport as this event will be a boon to the millions of home fans, who will see world class teams and their favourite international players from close quarters,
“We not only endeavour to plan and deliver a world-class event, we will also prepare and field a strong and formidable side that can perform and entertain our home fans. We saw during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign how the nation got united and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at home will be another opportunity to further strengthen that bond as we defend the title,” the PCB chairman said.
