PCB played a big game! Will India have to go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025?
The PCB has rejected the idea of a hybrid model for India matches similar to the arrangement made for Asia Cup 2023. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed to start the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 from February 19 and host it entirely in Pakistan. At the same time, the PCB has rejected the idea of a hybrid model for matches in India similar to the arrangement made for Asia Cup 2023. According to the PCB’s proposed schedule, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will run from February 19 to March 9, 2025, with all matches taking place in three major Pakistani cities: Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore. PCB sources have revealed that International Cricket Council (ICC) officials, who recently visited Pakistan to assess the preparations for the tournament, have expressed satisfaction over the arrangements. After that, the PCB has taken a strong stand against the idea of a hybrid model especially for the India matches and insisted that all the games should be played on Pakistani soil. This stance is likely to draw a response from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It is worth noting that the BCCI had suggested a hybrid model where India’s matches would be played at neutral venues outside Pakistan, similar to the arrangement made during Asia. PCB has made a special plan for Team India However, Pakistan is adamant on its stand and wants all the matches including the one with India to be played within its borders which may not be possible but Pak is also not ready to bow down. A PCB source said, “We have not opted for the hybrid model. However, we have proposed that India’s matches can be played only in Lahore. This way the team will not need to move around cities within Pakistan and its security can be well maintained in Lahore.” The source further added, “The proximity of Lahore to Wagah Border will also make it more suitable for Indian fans.” Now it will be interesting to see whether India will go to Pakistan for the tournament or it will cancel its tour.
Champions Trophy 2025: The tournament can be played between February 19 and March 9, but will India tour Pakistan?
This time the Champions Trophy will be played under the hosting of Pakistan Champions Trophy (Image Credit- Twitter X) According to recent reports by Cricbuzz, the International Cricket Council has provided a 20-day window to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to conduct the Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that if everything goes well, the upcoming tournament can be seen happening again after about 8 years, between February 19 and March 9. It is worth noting that the last time this tournament was held was in England and Wales in 2017, where Pakistan won by defeating India in the final. So this time Pakistan has the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy, and this time the top 8 teams of the ICC ODI rankings are going to participate in the tournament. However, there is little chance that the Indian team will tour Pakistan for the tournament. If this happens, then once again this tournament can be seen happening on a hybrid model, as happened during Asia Cup 2022. India played all its matches in Sri Lanka, and this time something similar is likely to happen in the Champions Trophy. BCCI will clarify the Indian government’s stand in the ICC meeting However, the BCCI is going to inform the Indian Government about its stand on the Indian team going to Pakistan for the tournament in the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting to be held in Colombo next month in July. Recently, some media reports came out that Pakistan Cricket Board can book Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for all the matches of India so that they do not face much trouble and they can come to Pakistan directly from Wagah Border in Punjab to participate in the Champions Trophy. However, it is very unlikely that India will tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

It is noteworthy that this time this Champions Trophy is going to be hosted by Pakistan. So there is every possibility that this multinational tournament will be hosted by Pakistan in the months of February and March next year. But due to the ongoing differences between the governments of India and Pakistan, there is little possibility of the Indian cricket team taking part. On the other hand, now will the Indian team go to Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy or not? BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has given a big statement regarding this matter. Shukla says that it completely depends on the Government of India. Rajiv Shukla gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview given to the media, when Rajiv Shukla was asked whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, he said – Look, the Champions Trophy is coming next.

But due to not getting permission from the Indian government to go to Pakistan, the Indian cricket team was seen playing its matches on hybrid model. India played all its matches in Sri Lanka. So this time too, there is every possibility that the Indian team may once again be seen playing all its Champions Trophy matches in the hybrid model.

Rashid has warned that if India is out of the tournament, it will have to face consequences. IND vs PAK (Photo Source: Twitter) Champions Trophy 2025: Former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif said that if India does not participate in the Champions Trophy 2025 to be hosted by Pakistan, then the International Cricket Council (ICC) will have to answer for it. Rashid has warned that if India is out of the tournament then it will have to face the consequences. It is noteworthy that India did not play in the Asia Cup hosted by Pakistan last year, where all the matches of Team India were played in Sri Lanka. There are reports that India is demanding similar matches in next year’s ICC Champions Trophy, due to which the statements of former players of Pakistan are coming. Rashid Latif threatened India 55 year old Rashid Latif Said about India not coming to Pakistan, “India may decline bilateral series with Pakistan, but it is impossible for them not to participate in ICC matches. Pakistan played the ODI World Cup hosted by India. In such a situation, if the Indian team is out of the ICC tournament, they will have to face serious consequences. Recently there were reports that the venue of the tournament is being changed, for which there is also talk of implementing a hybrid model. Meanwhile, if India goes to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, their matches will still be played in Lahore. The idea of holding the matches in Lahore is that Indian fans can easily access the fields to watch the matches through Wagah Border. Apart from this, the final match will also be held in Lahore. Pakistan has made special arrangements for India Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy next year and This tournament will be organized in February 2025. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had recently said that all the matches of the Indian team in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in the same stadium i.e. Lahore so that the team does not face any problem. The Champions Trophy will be a 50-over match in which eight teams will participate. At present, the schedule of Champions Trophy has not been released yet. The Pakistan board is planning to host the tournament in stadiums in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
All the matches of India for Champions Trophy will be played in this stadium of Pakistan. PCB’s big statement
Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan in the time of February or March. India vs Pakistan. (Image Source: ACC/X) It is not known whether Team India will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. But it is certain that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will host this tournament. Three venues have been finalized for next year’s tournament. Pakistan Cricket Board said that tournament matches will be organized in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Along with this, PCB has also sent the schedule of Champions Trophy matches to ICC. Recently, a security team of the ICC Board has come to Pakistan and also took stock of the arrangements. On this, PCB Chairman Mohis Naqvi said, “We are confident that the tournament will be conducted smoothly. India has not yet finalized its participation in the event, which is expected to be held in February-March next year. Since India had refused to play in the Pakistan-hosted Asia Cup last year, some matches were held in Pakistan and some in Sri Lanka in a ‘hybrid model’. But this time Pakistan is insisting on organizing all the matches in the Champions Trophy.” All India’s matches in the Champions Trophy will be played in Lahore! Although it is still uncertain whether India will travel to Pakistan or not, given the tensions between the two countries and the precedent of India not traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup last year, the PCB has, after much consideration, decided against hosting India’s games. Lahore Stadium has been chosen for this. The thinking behind this is that Lahore is on the India and Pakistan border. In such a situation, fans will be allowed to cross the Wagah Border and come to Pakistan to watch their team’s match without any difficulty. Also, the organizers wanted to ensure that the Indian team did not have to travel much to Pakistan to play matches. They will stay in only one city and avoid travel hassles. That’s why he chose Lahore Stadium.
Big update: Team India will not tour Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025
Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement regarding India-Pakistan cricket relations. He said that if Team India tours Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, they will consider a bilateral series with India. In 2021, Pakistan was named as the host of the Champions. Next year’s Champions Trophy is one of the biggest tournaments to be held in that country. This will be the first time that Pakistan will host an ICC tournament in its entirety since the 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan national cricket team. According to sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Team India may refuse to go to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy. He has also said that changing the venue for this tournament or implementing a hybrid model can also be considered. The source also said that it is important to obtain permission from the government to visit Pakistan, and given the current tense relations between the two countries, it may be difficult to get permission. Team India will not go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 A BCCI source was quoted by NDTV as saying, “Forget bilateral series… Team India cannot even tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. The venue may change, so a hybrid model is also possible. The Indian board will need permission from the government to tour, currently our relations with Pakistan are also not that good. Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it will be a difficult decision for India, but without the government’s order/green signal, I don’t see it happening in the near future, it’s impossible. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012–13. India had refused to go to Pakistan to participate in the Asia Cup in 2023. As a result, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) adopted a hybrid model for the event, with Sri Lanka co-hosting with Pakistan. India and Pakistan last faced each other in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
