The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that the 2025 Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan, with no plans for relocation. ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice reassured that all participating teams are committed to playing in the tournament, and no team has expressed concerns about competing in Pakistan.
Next week, a five to six-member ICC delegation will visit Pakistan to inspect the proposed venues and meet with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials. Discussions will cover important matters such as practice matches and ticketing, with representatives from various departments also present.
The 2025 Champions Trophy will feature eight teams, including India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Pakistan, the defending champion, won the previous edition by defeating India in the 2017 final, reaffirming its status as a key host for international cricket events.
