NEW DELHI: An ICC delegation is set to visit Pakistan this month to review preparations for the Champions Trophy. They will also discuss the event’s tentative schedule with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
A source who is familiar with the situation mentioned that the PCB has not yet been informed about the number of ICC officials or the departments they represent.However, the schedule is expected to be a key discussion point.
Earlier, the PCB sent a tentative schedule to the ICC. In this proposal, Lahore was suggested as the base for the Indian team.
“The schedule has now been seen by the participating boards in the Champions Trophy and there is still some work to be done before it is finalised and announced,” said the source.
“Obviously a final decision on whether the Indian team would be permitted by its government to play in Pakistan is one major reason for the schedule still being under consideration,” he added.
The ICC delegation will inspect development work at Champions Trophy venues in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. They will also meet with security officials and review broadcasting arrangements, team accommodations, and travel plans.
With Jay Shah, BCCI secretary, to become ICC chairman on December 1, the source indicated that the Champions Trophy schedule might be announced late, similar to last year’s World Cup in India.
