Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already started preparations for hosting the ICC tournament for its country after 30 years. The ICC Champions Trophy will be played in Pakistan in the year 2025, in which the top-8 teams of world cricket will participate. Keeping in mind the preparations for the tournament, PCB has sent a plan to ICC, in which they have selected Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi as the venues to host the matches. The matches of this tournament will be played around the month of February next year. In such a situation, Pakistan is also planning to upgrade the stadiums of these three cities.
We have sent our plan to the ICC
According to the statement of current PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi which was published in ESPN Cricinfo, he said that we have sent the plan of the schedule of matches to organize the Champions Trophy to the ICC. The ICC security team had visited here and we had a very good meeting with them. He saw the preparations here in which we also told him about our plan to upgrade the stadium. We are in constant touch with the ICC and we are trying our best to ensure that Pakistan organizes this tournament in a better way.
Will the Indian team go to Pakistan?
In the schedule sent by PCB to ICC for ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian team’s matches will also be played in Pakistan. However, when a country hosting an ICC tournament sends a match schedule plan, it is shared with all the other teams participating in that event. According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, the official schedule of the Champions Trophy will be approved in the ICC General Body Meeting to be held in July. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has already made it clear that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan to play the match. Earlier, in the Asia Cup held in the year 2023, the tournament was organized in hybrid model, in which Team India played all its matches in Sri Lanka.
