India Won't Travel to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025
Since india is not going to go to pakistan to play the One Day Internationals, the Champions Trophy would most likely be conducted in a hybrid format in february or March. The Champions Trophy, which will return to the cricket schedule for the first time since 2017, will be hosted by Pakistan. Nonetheless, a source with knowledge of the situation informed india Herald that a few of the tournament's games will probably take place in sri lanka or the United Arab Emirates.
A tentative schedule was sent to the international cricket Council by the pakistan cricket Board last month. The draft schedule had all of India's games played at Lahore, including the highly anticipated encounter between the bitter rivals on march 1. But as far as travel is concerned, there's currently no formal word from the BCCI.
"The team's chances of going to pakistan for the Champions Trophy are extremely slim, but the government will make the ultimate decision. Thus, a hybrid model is being developed in that scenario. Like the Asia Cup, india may play their matches in sri lanka or the United Arab Emirates. This is what we are currently considering, albeit the ICC will have an opinion as well. Let's wait and see how things develop later. It appears that a hybrid model will be used as of right now, the person stated.
