The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has come under fire for reportedly squandering 1.2 billion Pakistani Rupees (approximately $4.2 million) due to mismanagement. As the board prepares for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2025, this financial misstep has raised alarms about their capability to host the prestigious event. Reports indicate that the PCB had allocated substantial funds for the tournament’s infrastructure and logistics, but issues surrounding financial oversight have led to chaos in planning. An anonymous source within the PCB stated, ‘The money allocated for the preparation has not been utilized effectively and now we face an uphill battle to meet ICC standards.’ The ICC has expressed concerns regarding Pakistan’s readiness to host the Champions Trophy, adding pressure on the PCB to rectify their financial practices swiftly.
