From February 19 to March 9, the Champions Trophy 2025, likely to be held
The Champions Trophy 2025, which features the eight top teams in the ICC's rankings for one-day internationals, was last played in 2017 when Pakistan lifted the trophy, beating India in the final. The report further said that the ICC member boards have been informed about the proposed dates.
Now Pakistan is officially the host of the tournament, but the reluctance of the Indian government to allow its team to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy may turn the event into a hybrid model, similar to the last Asia Cup when India played all their matches in Sri Lanka.
However, Pakistan has reportedly marked Lahore as the venue for all India matches to cut down on the Indian team’s travel and to make it easier for the fans to visit Pakistan from the Wagah border near Amritsar.
Clarity on the Indian government and the stance of BCCI is expected in July, when the ICC annual conference will be held in Colombo.
