PCB had putted new card against the BCCI in ICC boards meeting in Dubai in last week: offer to host ICC Champions Trophy 2021 with all of its resources.
The Host offer offered by Chairman Najam sethi during the board’s meeting from 9th to 11th February in Dubai in response of the ICC problem who is looking for Tax evasion which was denied by the Indian government. ICC Director Dave Richardson has exclusively meet with the Indian minister six months back but it was not positive for the ICC and after that meeting ICC is seriously looking for the venue within the continent.
Well learned sources in the PCB have confirmed that it is an option and there is no issue for us to Host ICC mega event.
“We have no problem to Host ICC Event even in UAE and Pakistan jointly, We know we are still in trouble in hosting but the situation is going batter gradually, and we are managing all of our series in UAE almost from a decade so we can do this as well in both the countries” Senior Officer revealed.
ICC 2021 Champions Trophy and ICC WC2023 was awarded to BCCI (India) earlier but now due to Tax evasion issue ICC is thinking to change the venue
