India’s premier spin bowler, Kuldeep Yadav, has shared his enthusiasm for participating in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is set to be hosted by Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled the draft schedule for the tournament, and it has received approval from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
At an event in Australia, Kuldeep Yadav, known for his left-arm wrist-spin, expressed his excitement about the prospect of touring Pakistan for the first time. He emphasized that playing wherever a cricketer is assigned is part of the job, and he was eager to experience cricket in Pakistan.
“I’ve never been to Pakistan before, so I’m quite excited. The Pakistani people are known to be wonderful, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to play there,” Kuldeep Yadav was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
However, despite Kuldeep’s enthusiasm, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is still awaiting official approval from the Indian government for the tour. Additionally, the ICC has set aside extra funding for the PCB in case the tournament needs to be relocated from Pakistan.
