BCCI refuses to send Team India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.
It will be Gautam Gambhir’s first ICC tournament as the head coach.
Indian players are not allowed to travel to Pakistan due to security concerns.
The Asian neighbours haven’t played a bilateral series since 2013.
The BCCI reportedly wants India’s matches to be held in Dubai or Sri Lanka.
If the PCB doesn’t agree, India may pull out from the 2025 Champions Trophy.
In that case, Sri Lanka will replace India in the eight-team competition.
Sri Lanka finished 9th in the group stage of the last ODI World Cup.
It’s the first time that Sri Lanka haven’t qualified for the Champions Trophy.
Pakistan co-hosted the last Asia Cup and India played their matches in Sri Lanka.
