The Indian Express was less than impressed with Sharad Pawar's glowing comments about the Champions Trophy.
"The surprise of the day was in Pawar’s virtually capitulating to all ICC demands, saying that it had resolved all outstanding issues and that it would extend full co-operation to the ICC while conducting the Champions Trophy, the first major tournament to be conducted in India since the 1996 World Cup."
But then again, as the report pointed out, the ICC are deciding on the venuie for the next World Cup at the weekend. Surely the two events are unconnected?
