ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - and Pakistan's lack of counterpropaganda



India has consistently provided reasons for Pakistan not hosting an ICC event on its soil. While this may seem like standard procedure, it highlights a lack of long-term planning that should have been addressed much earlier. I find myself partially agreeing with some Indian broadcasters who attribute this situation to the ICC’s mismanagement. As one broadcaster pointed out, should any damage occur, it would fall under the ICC's responsibility. They question if Pakistan, even if it manages to navigate these challenges, will be able to develop its cricket facilities on time.

In today's world, the state of cricket stadiums is crucial for showcasing a country’s cricket infrastructure. It's disheartening that in 2024, we are still debating the viewing experiences within our cricket stadiums. Meanwhile, in South Africa, fans thoroughly enjoy their time at the cricketing venues, reflecting a more advanced and fan-friendly infrastructure.

Cricket stadiums are crucial for showcasing a nation's cricketing capabilities on the global stage. The
recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India is a testament to this, as India successfully demonstrated its cricketing prowess through its world-class stadiums. It is noteworthy that India's infrastructure is so advanced that if the BCCI were to host CWC games at every international-standard stadium, each venue might only get a single game due to the sheer number of high-quality options available.

In stark contrast, Pakistan's situation highlights significant infrastructural shortcomings. We have only a handful of international-standard stadiums in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Faisalabad. This limited number underscores the urgent need for Pakistan to invest in and expand its cricketing infrastructure to meet international standards and improve its standing on the global cricket stage.
