This edition promises thrilling matches, with Pakistan aiming to deliver a memorable tournament experience.
2025 Edition of ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan
Pakistan is scheduled to host the 9th edition of ICC Champions Trophy from February 19 to March 9, 2025. However, the Indian cricket team has reportedly refused to travel to Pakistan, continuing a stance held since 2017 due to political tensions. Consequently, Pakistan has initiated efforts to arrange matches involving India at neutral venues, possibly the UAE or Sri Lanka.
The ICC has scheduled the tournament with an exciting lineup, including popular venues in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. This event will be the first ICC tournament hosted by Pakistan since 1996, and there is considerable anticipation. Pakistan’s preparation efforts include addressing security concerns and organizing state-of-the-art facilities for international teams and fans alike.
The Champions Trophy 2025 marks Pakistan’s return as a host on the global cricket stage, with Pakistan’s cricket board and government authorities collaborating to ensure a successful tournament. Despite the challenges presented by India’s decision, Pakistan is committed to delivering a memorable event.
