The Champions Trophy scheduled for 2025 February and March seems to have come under the scanner after the latest development standing at the Board of Control for Cricket in India refusing to send India over to Pakistan for the tournament. This decision was conveyed by the BCCI to the International Cricket Council, with the Pakistan Cricket Board understandably disgruntled with the way the flow of events has panned out.  

Former Pakistan skipper, Shahid Afridi, becomes the latest to hop on the bandwagon and express his honest thoughts on the same. The tweet that he uploaded on X was not that filled with the sentiment of hatred on the BCCI's stance of not wanting to travel to Pakistan or the ICC wanting to relocate the venue altogether. Rather, it was a message filled with genuine interest in cricket as a whole. Afridi's post urging the same ethos in cricket the same way it is during the Olympics, hoped to see every nation come over to Pakistan for the marquee event.
