ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Things are surely going from bad to worse for the Pakistan Cricket Board and the nation as a whole. And all of this started much before the start of the mega event. The stadiums were not ready and the ICC had to pay visits to monitor the progress time and again. The PCB kept breaching deadlines and requesting for extensions.
Under a lot of pressure, the tournament finally got underway. But now there are fresh problems emerging from the stadiums. A clip that is going viral on social space shows the ceiling leaks that still exist at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore. Also, the clip highlights the poor drainage facilities. It also goes on to claim that 570 Cr cost was overrun and still the basic facilities were not available for the common fan.

The Men in Green became the first team to get eliminated from the tournament. It has come as a massive embarrassment for the nation as they were the defending champions and the hosts. Pakistan first lost to New Zealand and then went onto get thrashed by India in Dubai.

Finally, Pakistan, who would have thought of signing the tournament off with a win over Bangladesh , that too did not happen. The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh was called off due to rain. Both teams had to share a point each. As per reports, a lot of changes in the cricket team and the PCB is expected. There have been whispers suggesting that Babar Azam 's future is in doubt.

Should ICC Step in?
The ICC could step in after the tournament is finally over. The Jay Shah-led ICC would obviously have a review meeting after the event and most certainly such incidents would be discussed. One thing is for certain, PCB is on the backfoot and they know they have some answering to do.
