New Delhi: Former Pakistan pacer Tanvir Ahmed has dared Team India to visit Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 next year. In an explosive rant on his YouTube channel, Ahmed responded to former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who had earlier said India should not travel to Pakistan for the tournament as due to security reasons.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) too has maintained a strict stance on the matter and is unlikely to allow the Indian team to travel to Pakistan for the multi-nation tournament. As per multiple reports, BCCI will wait for a final decision from the government before making their stance clear to ICC on whether India will play in Pakistan or not.
Amid BCCI’s reluctance, Ahmed made an open dare to the Indian team, asking them to visit Pakistan for the tournament. In a clip going viral on social media, the former Pakistan pacer can be heard saying that Pakistan is ready to provide security but India should agree to play in the country once.
“Sher hai hum log sher hai, hum log sher hai. Hum log tere mulk me aa ke khel ke gaye hai. Aake dikha….Hum toh kah rahe hai aake khelo. Security denge, sab kuch denge tum logon ko. Aa toh sahi ek dafaa (We are lions, we are lions. We came and played cricket in your country. Come here and show… We are inviting you to come and play. We will provide security, we will give you everything. Just come once),” Ahmed said in the video.
Former Pakistani cricketer Tanvir Ahmed responded to Harbhajan Singh by saying:
Pak players are like lions, they played in India and return home. This is called a brave and fearless team. come to Pakistan will provide you security.#harbhajansingh pic.twitter.com/YglkffMz5j

In the viral clip, Ahmed also highlighted how Pakistani players went to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup last year and returned home after playing the tournament, emphasising that it showed the courage of the Babar Azam-led side. He said Pakistan players are brave and they can play tournaments anywhere in the world, irrespective of how they perform.
“Yeh sirf Pakistan ke playeron ka kaam hai, bhai. Sirf Pakistan ke player aate hai aur khelke chale jaate hai. Chahe jeete, chahe haare, jis tarah ki cricket khele. Woh India jaake khelke wapas aaye the. Isko kahte hai ek daler team aur daler players (It’s only the Pakistan players who do this. Only Pakistani players come and play and go back, regardless of winning or losing, and no matter how they play. They went to India and returned after playing there. This is what you call a brave team and brave players),” Ahmed added.
No official decision on hosting Champions Trophy in hybrid model yet
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is yet to decide on whether to hold the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid model or not. A decision on the venue of the tournament was expected in the ICC’s meeting in Sri Lanka earlier this month, but no discussions took place. However, ICC has allotted supplementary funds for the Champions Trophy, indicating that the tournament might be conducted in a hybrid model if BCCI refuses to send the Indian team to Pakistan.
The PCB was the official host of the Asia Cup 2023 last year but the tournament was played in a hybrid model after BCCI didn’t relent and refused to send Team India to Pakistan.
