PCB response to security lapse
After the incident, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has broken the silence on the security system of the Champions Trophy. Pakistan, which is hosting an ICC tournament after 29 years, seems serious about such incidents.
According to PCB, “The safety of players and officials is our top priority. After discussion with local security agencies, we have decided to increase security in all stadiums and strengthen entry control measures. ”
The viewer who tried to get close to Rachin Ravindra was arrested and produced in court on Tuesday. In addition, it has been permanently banned by entering all the cricket sites in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s team out of tournament
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s disappointing performance continued in the Champions Trophy 2025. New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by five wickets to make it to the semi -finals, which led to Pakistan out of the tournament. From Group-A to New Zealand and India have entered the last four.
Pakistan was defeated by New Zealand by 60 runs and India by 6 wickets. There is resentment in the PCB over the team’s early exit, but the board has decided not to take any action until the tournament ends. Pakistan will play its last league match against Bangladesh on 27 February, which is only a formality.
