During the high-profile hurdle, Sethi informed the ICC delegation about Pakistan’s reservations about playing the tournament in India, the Asia Cup matter, the new financial model, and the Champions Trophy tournament.

Najam Sethi, according to SAMAA TV, told them that the tours of Australia, England, and New Zealand of Pakistan were successful and there were no security issues, so India should not have a problem in visiting Pakistan.

He reminded the ICC President and the Chief Executive that Pakistan played in India in tough times and India should also visit Pakistan for Asia Cup and Champions Trophy.

The ICC delegation has no answer and remained silent throughout the meeting. However, they assured the PCB that they will talk to India regarding the matter.

Moreover, the PCB Chairman also raised the matter of the ICC revenue model saying that Pakistan’s players are leading the rankings at the moment but still the board was getting a small chuck in the revenue model.
