Former Pakistan pacer’s cryptic remark ignites debate, accuses BCCI for favorable CT 2025 schedule for India
Former Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan appears to have ignited an enormous debate in regards to the scheduling of the ICC Males’s Champions Trophy 2025, taking a cheeky dig on the Indian Cricket Board and Team India gaining an unfair benefit.
The 35-year-old cricketer made such an audacious declare only a day forward of the India vs. New Zealand summit conflict, set to happen on March 9 at Dubai Worldwide Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
The previous Pakistani pacer highlighted the space that has been lined by New Zealand and South Africa in his current tweet. The cricketer-turned-analyst mentioned that New Zealand had travelled 7,150 km whereas the Proteas had lined 3,286 km, whereas Rohit Sharma and his males stayed up in Dubai itself and have travelled 0 km, getting an unfair benefit as in comparison with different sides.
“Distance travelled between matches in Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand: 7,150 KM, South Africa: 3,286 KM, India: 0 KM. Some groups win by talent, some win by scheduling…,” he tweeted.
Distance traveled between matches in Champions Trophy 2025:

Talking about the identical topic, Workforce India head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen dismissing such claims after India’s semi-final win towards Australia.

“There’s a number of debate in regards to the undue benefit and all that. What undue benefit? We’ve not practiced right here even for a day. We’re training on the ICC Academy. And the situations there and listed below are 180 levels completely different. If you happen to take a look at the wickets there and right here, the distinction is between the bottom and the sky. Some persons are simply perpetual cribbers, man,” India head coach Gautam Gambhir dismissed the declare.
