Former Pakistan spinner Saqlain Mushtaq made scathing remarks on the issue of India refusing to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, saying that India should be taught a "sabak" (lesson) for its "attitude", while also citing a recent personal experience.
Pakistan are the official hosts of the Champions Trophy, but India will play their matches in Dubai as part of a hybrid arrangement after the Indian government and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send the team to Pakistan for the tournament. After much wrangling between the BCCI, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC), an agreement was reached to resolve the deadlock.
