Former Pakistan cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq believes there is no need to raise a fuss over India's intention to not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

It has been more than ten years since India and Pakistan last played a bilateral series. When Pakistan visited India for a white ball series in December 2012 and January 2013, that was the last time they played a bilateral series. However, because of the political unrest between the two nations, the Indian team hasn't visited India since 2006. In the meantime, Pakistan did visit India for the ODI World Cup last year.

There are several rumors that the BCCI won't send the Indian team to the neighboring nation for the ICC tournament the following year.

"It's simple. If India wants to come, they can. If they don't want to come, it doesn't matter. There's no point in making a fuss about it. This won't make either party good or bad. This is ICC's event, and they will look into this matter, as they should," Mushtaq was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.

Interestingly, Pakistan were also set to host the Asia Cup in 2023. However, due to India's unwillingness to visit the nation, the competition was eventually held using a hybrid format. Consequently, all of India's games—including the championship—were slated to take place in Sri Lanka.
