Champions Trophy Opening Ceremony cancelled..!?

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy cricket series is to be held in Pakistan. Before this series, a captains-only event and an opening ceremony were to be held. However, due to some reasons, the captains' meeting event and the opening ceremony have been canceled. Initially, it was said that the ceremony could not be held as planned because the england and australia teams were late. Also, the reason was that the indian team refused to play in pakistan and was scheduled to play in dubai, and the indian team captain rohit sharma would not go to Pakistan. However, it has been learned that the opening ceremony and the captains' meeting have been canceled due to the match dates and the travel plans of various teams. Usually, captains' meetings and press conferences are held before ICC tournaments like the world cup and Champions Trophy. All the team captains will attend this. However, since India's matches are being held in dubai, it was doubtful whether indian captain rohit sharma would attend these meetings in Pakistan. Initial reports said that rohit sharma is unlikely to go to Pakistan.
On the first day of the Champions Trophy (February 19), pakistan and new zealand will face each other. The match will be held in Karachi, Pakistan. On the second day, february 20, the match between india and bangladesh will be held in Dubai. If the captains' meeting and opening ceremony are planned to be held on february 18, the indian and bangladesh captains will have to leave in a hurry for the match to be held in dubai in two days.

On the other hand, construction work is still underway on all three stadiums where the Champions Trophy matches will be held in Pakistan. Due to various problems, the pakistan cricket Board (PCB) and the international cricket Council (ICC) have decided to cancel the opening ceremony and the captains' meeting. With various problems arising for the 2025 Champions Trophy series, the opening ceremony has also been canceled, and the pakistan cricket Board is in turmoil. Can this series be held properly? Many people have a question.
