In a significant announcement ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has revealed plans to roll out special arrangements to welcome fans of the Indian cricket team from all over the world.
Speaking at a gathering with Sikh pilgrims in the United States, Mohsin Naqvi extended a warm invitation for them to attend the high-stakes tournament, assuring expedited visa processes for ease of travel.
Naqvi promised that visas would be issued within 30 minutes for those eager to catch the action live in Pakistan. Naqvi announced that the government has made the visa process easier for Sikhs by making it online while adding that holders of American, Canadian, and UK passports can apply online without any fees.
“You’re more than welcome to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy,” he stated, also noting that a special ticket quota is being reserved for the much-anticipated India-Pakistan showdown.
Emphasising Pakistan’s commitment to hosting an enjoyable event, Naqvi confirmed that thorough preparations are underway to make the Champions Trophy experience seamless and memorable for international fans.
Despite the ongoing preparations for the tournament, India’s participation is still up in the air. PCB and all other relevant parties involved are doing everything in their power to convince the neighbors to attend the event in Pakistan instead of opting for a neutral venue as before. Naqvi’s announcement is likely another demarche as he looks to woo the public and force India’s hand.
The competition is slated to take place from February 19th to March 9th next year.

He can go and hand that trophy to them as well . Pak team is a joke. Everyone laughs at this team. They cannot win against anyone . The head of pcb doesn’t even know about cricket anymore then he knows about how cars work .
