The administrator warned if Pakistan pulls out of the Champions Trophy, it could face possible lawsuits from the global cricket body. He added broadcasters could also sue as such a move would affect their estimated revenues. "PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has to come clean on the whole issue," he said, stressing MPAs are identical across countries.

The impasse over the Champions Trophy continues to stay as there is still no confirmation about the hosting of the tournament. Pakistan are the official hosts while India are not travelling there due to security issues and want to play their set to matches at the other venue.

The Pakistan Cricket Board could face revenue losses, lawsuits and also risk international alienation if it decides to withdraw from the ICC Champions Trophy over a deadlock on the mode of organising the 50-over event scheduled in February-March next year.

The controversy stems from the proposed hybrid model for the tournament. Pakistan, the designated host, had initially resisted this arrangement but eventually agreed under pressure.

The dispute between PCB and BCCI over the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is still unresolved. The schedule, originally planned for release in November, has been delayed due to BCCI's refusal to play in Pakistan.

A senior cricket administrator who is well versed with the organisation ICC events told PTI on Wednesday that it would not be an easy decision for the PCB to not play in the Champions Trophy.

Pakistan will incur huge financial losses, attract lawsuits and even an international boycott if they withdraw from Champions Trophy 2025.

Pakistan's cricket future hangs in the balance amid a standoff with India over the Champions Trophy. The PCB's potential withdrawal over hosting arrangements could lead to significant financial losses,
