Amid the continuing suspense on whether India will take part in the upcoming Champions Trophy, Committee of Administrators' member Ramachandra Guha yesterday said the country 'absolutely must' compete in the event.

"Boycotting or threatening to boycott a prestigious international tournament does not become a great cricketing nation," Guha tweeted.

"Speaking in my personal capacity, as a cricket fan, I believe the Indian cricket team absolutely must take part in the Champions Trophy," he added.

The BCCI is expected to take a call on this matter in a Special General Meeting on May 7.
