India say no to playing Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan

India has refused to play matches in Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

The decision was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday, and comes after a series of terrorist attacks in Pakistan in recent months.

The BCCI said in a statement that it had "taken into account the security concerns of the Indian team and the advice of the Indian government" in making its decision.

Pakistan has expressed disappointment at India's decision.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement that it was "deeply disappointed" by the BCCI's decision, and that it had "done everything possible to ensure the safety of the Indian team."

The PCB added that it was "committed to hosting international cricket in Pakistan" and that it "hoped that the Indian team would reconsider its decision."

The Champions Trophy is scheduled to be held in Pakistan from September 14 to October 5.

The tournament features the top eight ODI teams in the world, and is one of the most prestigious events in international cricket.

India is the defending champion, having won the tournament in 2013.

The BCCI's decision is likely to have a major impact on the Champions Trophy.

India is one of the most popular teams in the world, and its absence from the tournament will be a major blow to the PCB.

The PCB is now hoping that other teams will still agree to play in Pakistan, but it is unclear if any other teams will be willing to do so given the security concerns.
