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.
