The International Cricket Council has made changes in the Trophy tour itinerary of Champions Trophy 2025 following objections by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. It will, therefore, not visit Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) areas like Muzaffarabad, Skardu, and the Hunza Valley, as the BCCI had raised a hue and concern over these locations featuring in the tour.

BCCI Urges ICC To Take Strict Action Against PCB

This tour was initially planned in PoK cities by PCB, but BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has been critical of this move, because he said the PCB did not consult key stakeholders like ICC, before finalizing it. And it is due to which, ICC had asked PCB to remove PoK cities from its tour.
