The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be held in Pakistan this time. Before the tournament, there is a lot of speculation about whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 or not. The Indian team has not visited Pakistan for the last several years. The security of the players is the biggest reason behind this. However, no clear picture has been made yet by the BCCI and the ICC regarding this issue. The Indian government will decide on this. Meanwhile, the visit of India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar to Pakistan has again intensified these discussions.
Pakistan has now made such a plan.
According to a report by Cricbuzz, during the talks between India and Pakistan’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and Ishaq Dar, the issue of the Champions Trophy was discussed several times from Pakistan’s side. During this, Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi was also present. Mohsin Naqvi is also a minister in the Pakistan government. Many speculations about S Jaishankar’s visit to Pakistan have again been given a new direction.
Reports have also revealed that the PCB has written a letter to the BCCI. It is written that if the Indian team does not want to stay in Pakistan due to security reasons, then the players of Team India will be allowed to return to India after every match played in the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, Team India can stay in Chandigarh or New Delhi after the match is over. A PCB official also said that there will be a gap of about a week between the last two matches of the Indian team.
All matches of India can be held in this city.
The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan from 19 February to 9 March. PCB has decided to hold all the matches of India in Lahore, as Lahore is closest to the India-Pakistan border. In such a situation, it will be easy for Team India and Indian fans to come to Pakistan. PCB has selected a total of three venues for the tournament. Apart from Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi are included in it. Team India will play a total of three matches during the league stage. These matches are to be played against Bangladesh on 20 February, Pakistan on 23 February, and New Zealand on 2 March. Although this is not an official schedule yet, but PCB has prepared such a schedule for the Indian team and sent it to the ICC. Even after all this, if India refuses to go to Pakistan, then PCB and ICC have made a different plan for Team India. The participation of the Indian team is very important for this tournament.
