The PCB has expressed disappointment in India's decision, stating that it goes against the spirit of sporting competition and hampers the growth of cricket in the region. The board has asked the ICC to intervene and find a solution that will allow the tournament to proceed as planned. The Champions Trophy is a prestigious event in international cricket, and the absence of India would be a major blow to the tournament.

The PCB is hopeful that a resolution can be reached that will satisfy all parties involved and ensure the success of the tournament. In the meantime, the PCB is exploring alternative options for hosting the tournament if India's refusal to play in Pakistan remains firm. The board is committed to ensuring that the event goes ahead and will do everything in its power to make it a success. The PCB has also reached out to other member boards of the ICC for their support and assistance in resolving the issue. The board remains hopeful that a positive outcome can be achieved and that the Champions Trophy will proceed as scheduled.
