PCB issues official statements of reports on major financial losses at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The Pakistani Kripket (PCB) board has announced a record earning of hosts from the ICC champion Trophy 2025 just hours after BCCI proclaimed the INR 58 Crore Award for the Indian Cricket team, honoring them for their winning campaign.
The Pakistani Cricket board revealed that they had earned PKR 3 billion (approximately 92.44 runes of the Crown) from the hosts of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, despite more than half of the matches held in Dubai, where India played all its matches and won the title for the third time.

PCB Advisor Amir Mir responded strongly to reports that suggested that Pakistan faced huge financial losses hosting the 2025 champion trophy. However, peace rejected the reports of financial losses and called reports false propaganda.
Earlier, Telegraph’s Internet report claimed that PCB had spent greatly at the stadium upgrade, estimating that the costs would be about 18 billion PKR (approximately 555 INR crore), which was 50% compared to the budget. In addition, there were events costs of about $ 40 million ($ 333 in Inr), which pushed the total tournament consumption on PKR 30 billion (INR 926 crore).
Despite significant consumption, the Pakistani Cricket Committee received only $ 6 million (INR 50 Crore) hosting fees from ICC, and they made the same amount from ticket sales. According to these data, the tournament host suffered a loss of over $ 85 million (approximately $ 733 in Inr).

He also found that PCB expects to receive an additional 3 billion RS of RS 3 billion RS after the final audit, which would further add financial benefits to the Committee.
Amir Mir said at a press conference: “All the cost of the tournament is covered by the ICC. PCB generated revenue through money and ticket sales. In addition, after the audit, we expect to get another 3 billion RS from ICC.”
In addition, peace announced that the total revenue of PCB for 2023-24 reached 10 billion under the President of Mohsin Naqvija, testifying to a significant increase of 40% compared to the previous year. He also revealed that PCB paid 40 million PKRs during this period.

The Committee Advisor further claimed that PCB is now among the top three richest cricket panels in the world. However, the reports claimed that the home players faced a great deal of salaries, with their fees for matches reduced by 90%. However, PCB revised payments after the public return, but the players continued to make less than before.
In addition, they also reduced the accommodation of players from the five -star hotel to a budget that remains as part of their reduction in costs, which further caused concern about the financial state of the Pakistan crisis. PCB also promised to soon publish all the financial details on its website.
