Sports Desk: The ICC Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan in 2025. The Champions Trophy is the ICC’s biggest event after the ODI World Cup and is a prestigious title for teams. The last ICC Champions Trophy was held in 2017.
Pakistan has released a window for the ICC Champions Trophy from February 19 to March 9. ICC wants to end this season of 8 teams in 50 over matches in 20 days. The game will be played in three venues.
Any ICC event is scheduled six months in advance. But the organizers have not yet taken a final decision on the organization of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Because there is a question about whether India will play in Pakistan due to security reasons. With the BJP government coming back to power in India, there is a high possibility that Indian cricketers will not be sent to Pakistan. Although Pakistan wants to break the deadlock of cricket between the two countries.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi said that the Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan with the participation of all teams. He said in the media, “We are ready to host the Champions Trophy.” All teams will come and play in Pakistan.
Jai Shah is going to sit on the post of ICC chairman on December 1. He is scheduled to visit Pakistan after taking charge. They will be able to satisfy the ICC chairman on PCB’s trust, Pakistan’s security system, and other facilities.
Mohsin Naqvi said about India’s tour, ‘So far no decision has been made that the Indian team has withdrawn from the tournament or they have postponed the tour. So far, the participation of all parties is confirmed.
According to PCB’s plan, all India matches will be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Where venues and stadiums are very close. Also, as Wagah is close to the border, supporters can easily go to Pakistan.
