Former President of the Pakistani Cricket (PCB) Committee Ehsan Mani expressed disappointment with the management of ICC champion Trophy 2025. He said things were left at the 11th hour and that it was a big mistake by the global body.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 concluded last week and saw that India had won the tournament.

BCCI did not agree to send India to Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025
BCCI did not agree to send India to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and there were many discussions related to the same. Both PCB and BCCI were involved in many tussling -eventually led to the ICC to set up a tournament in the hybrid model.
As India played all their games in Dubai, they saw many fans and experts criticizing the Indian team as well as ICC. They mentioned that men in blue had a dishonest advantage of playing in one place, and the ICC champions of the Trophy 2025 were designed to help them win.
This was left at 11.am, it was wrong because of the ICC that he hadn’t dealt with so much, much earlier – Ehsan Mani
Ehsan Mani, who was President of the PCB from 2018 to 2021, spoke about how ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was stored. He said that ICC was long aware that India would not travel to Pakistan, and their approach to dealing with those issues at 11. The hour was wrong. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said:
“She is a very disappointing way of managing. The responsibility for this is with the ICC. When they assigned events to India and Pakistan, knowing current relations between countries, and then at ICC he was completely to ensure that the events and problems that appeared were solved much, long before the tournament actually started,”
“This was left at the 11th. It was wrong because of the ICC that he hadn’t been dealing with so much, much earlier. Both plates together and came up with the ICC solution, not a PCB or BCCI solution.”
The terrain was the same for all the teams that play there – Ehsan Mani
Ehsan Mani also talked about talks about India that have an unjust advantage of playing in one place. He mentioned that the terrain was the same for all the teams that played there and there is no point in being critical. He said:
“The terrain was the same for all the teams that played there. Yes, BCCI played in one ground for all these matches, but that is something ICC has decided from the beginning from the beginning. It makes no sense to be critical about it later.”
