BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla stated on Monday that the Indian government will make the final decision on the national cricket team’s participation in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year. The ICC ODI tournament is set to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9.

“No decision has been taken (yet). But our policy is that for international tours, we always seek the permission of the government. It’s up to the government to decide whether our team should go to any country or our team should not go to any country,” Shukla stated. 

“In this case (also), whatever the government will decide, we will abide by that,” he added.

Speaking to the media during the second Test between India and Bangladesh, Shukla mentioned that India and Pakistan only face each other in ICC tournaments. 

India has not toured Pakistan for bilateral cricket since 2008, following the Mumbai terror attacks that killed over 150 people. Pakistan last played in India during the ODI World Cup last year, marking their first visit in seven years.
