"Dar ka mahaul hai" - Fans react after Pakistan win hosting rights for 2025 Champions Trophy
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has won the opportunity to host the 2025 Champions Trophy. It is the first time Pakistan will host an ICC tournament after the 1996 World Cup. Pakistan are also the defending champions as they won the 2017 edition of the Champions Trophy in England by beating India by 180 runs in the final.
Bilateral cricketing ties between India and Pakistan are yet to be resurrected between the two neighboring nations. Due to this, there is already a cloud of uncertainty over India's participation in the elite tournament.
Fans also expressed similar sentiments through their Tweets. They reacted to the news of Pakistan getting an opportunity to host the 2025 Champions Trophy.
