The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be the ninth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, a cricket tournament for the eight top-ranked One Day International men's national teams organised by the International Cricket Council. It will be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board in February and March 2025
India is unlikely to travel to Pakistan for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy due to political and security reasons. The tournament is scheduled to take place in February–March 2025
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to sign the Champions Trophy 2025 hosting rights agreements with it, news agency PTI reported on Sunday. The board told the global body that it should be compensated if India refuse to travel to the country citing security reasons.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to receive another blow from International Cricket Council (ICC) as they might lose the complete hosting rights of the Champions Trophy 2025. As per reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not interested in changing their stance in the next two years over not touring Pakistan to play cricket. Indian men's cricket team did not travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023 as well due to security concerns.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah had made it clear that untill government gives clearance, the Indian team will not travel across the border. That decision had irked the then PCB boss Ramiz Raja, who had said that if India were not going to come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy, he would also not send the Men in Green to India for World Cup. But nothing of this sort happened. The Asia Cup 2023 was held in a hybrid model, with four games played in Pakistan and 9 in Sri Lanka. And Pakistan travelled to India for the World Cup.
