Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali recently expressed his thoughts on India‘s uncertainty about their participation in the Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan in February-March next year. The uncertainty stems from the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) hesitation to send the team to Pakistan without the Indian government’s approval.

BCCI’s uncertainty and Hasan Ali’s strong reaction 

The BCCI has reportedly proposed a Hybrid Model to the International Cricket Council (ICC), suggesting that India’s matches be hosted either in Sri Lanka or Dubai. This suggestion follows last year’s Asia Cup format, where Pakistan hosted the tournament, but India played all their matches in Sri Lanka due to political tensions. Speaking on Samaa TV, Hasan emphasized that the Champions Trophy should be played in Pakistan, regardless of India’s participation. He asserted that cricket would not end if India chose not to participate.

“As our (PCB) chairman has already said, if the Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan, then it will be in Pakistan. If India doesn’t want to come, we’ll play without them. Cricket should be played in Pakistan, and if India doesn’t want to participate, it doesn’t mean cricket has ended. There are many other teams besides India,” Hasan said.

Historical context and political tensions

India have not played a bilateral series in Pakistan since the Asia Cup 2008 due to strained political relations. The last series between the two teams was hosted in India from December 2012 to January 2013. Since then, their encounters have been limited to ICC tournaments and Asia Cups. Despite these challenges, Pakistan won the ICC ?Champions Trophy in 2017, while India claimed the title in 2013 and shared the trophy with Sri Lanka in 2002.

The latest face-off between the two arch-rivals was during the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, where India secured a narrow?? seven-run victory over Pakistan at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York. The political tension between the two countries continues to affect their cricketing ties, making the situation for the Champions Trophy complex.

As the Pakistan cricket team has geared up for a demanding tour of Australia commencing on December 14, Hasan Ali, the seasoned cricketer, has shed light on the impending challenges and unveiled a new tactical approach to counter the threat posed by Usman Khawaja.

Pakistan’s challenging tour to Australia

Under the fresh leadership of Shan Masood, Pakistan are confronted with the formidable task of securing victory on Australian soil, aiming to etch their name in cricketing history by becoming the first Pakistan side to win a Test series in Australia. Despite the historic opportunity, the visitors anticipate challenges in facing the Australian batting lineup, particularly the in-form Khawaja, who showcased remarkable touch th??roughout the year.

Hasan Ali unveils tactical approach against Usman Khawaja

During Pakistan’s previous tour to Australia in 2019, Khawaja demonstrated his prowess by amassing 229 runs in two games, boasting an excellent average of 76. Now Hasan has candidly shared insights into a strategic shift for the national cricket team, emphasizing caution in discussing on-field plans in Urdu due to Khawaja’s understanding of the language. In a recent interview, Hasan has revealed concerns about the Islamabad-born cricketer allegedly sharing game strategies of the Men in Green with the Australian team during a match in Karachi.

“Usman bhai is familiar with Urdu, but after he leaked our strategies to the Australia cricket team in Karachi, we’ve become more cautious. We’ll ensure not to discuss plans in Urdu in front of him to keep our strategies confidential. We’ll move a bit farther away from him to strategize for the game,” Hasan was quoted as saying by The Nation.

Adapting to Australian conditions

As the team has prepared for the challenges ahead, Hasan also highlighted the toughness of Australian conditions, specifically the bouncy tracks that offer extra bounce. Adapting to these conditions has become paramount for the Pakistan squad, and Hasan’s revelations provided a glimpse into the team’s strategy and preparedness to navigate the intricacies of Australian pitches.

“It’s not just Pakistan; all South Asian teams find it challenging to take 20 wickets on Australian tours. The pitches in Australia differ from those in other cricketing nations, and the local players’ familiarity with their conditions often poses problems for visiting squads,” the 29-year-old concluded.

Hasan’s desire comes despite the longstanding absence of Pakistani players from the IPL since 2009 due to political tensions between India and Pakistan. The fiery pacer expressed his hopes of playing in the IPL by emphasizing its status as one of the biggest leagues in the world.

The historical context

Subsequent decisions by both cricket boards limited bilateral contests, with matches occurring only during ICC tournaments. However, Hasan showed optimism about transcending these historical barriers if he gets the opportunity in future.

While the Dutch side displayed exception??al performance, they managed to keep Pakistan? in check and prevented them from completely dominating the proceedings.

Opting to bat first, Pakistan encountered a rocky start, losing their top three batsmen for a mere 38 runs. However, the partnership of Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel e??mer?ged as a savior for Pakistan. Together, they added an impressive 120 runs for the fourth wicket, with both Rizwan (68) and Shakeel (68) achieving well-deserved half-centuries.

Contributions from the middle order proved crucial as Mohammad Nawaz (39) and Shadab Khan (32) delivered v?aluab??le knocks, helping Pakistan reach a total of 286 runs in 49 overs.

He didn’t really try and get the pace up to that 140-145 KMPH. He was very effective on his line and length,” Stey??n remarked in a video shared by ESPNcricinfo.
