Niranjan Shah Champions Quotations

We will continue to oppose the Champions Trophy.

It is not just the BCCI that is opposing the Champions Trophy. The PCB has also opposed it through a letter to the ICC, saying that it does not want any tournaments, including the Champions Trophy, between four-yearly World Cups.

The ICC should confine itself to the World Cup in every four years and at the most should be limited to Under-19 tournaments. We believe this, and can always put forth our point before the ICC. We believe that the Champions trophy is not important. It dilutes the event. Moreover, we have to cater to the Indian cricket apart from our commitments to International cricket.

We have not decided anything regarding not participating in future Champions Trophy tournaments.
