According to The Business Standard, The venue for the eagerly awaited India-Pakistan clash in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy remains under discussion, with the match tentatively scheduled for February 23. While both Sri Lanka and the UAE are being considered as potential hosts, reports suggest the UAE might be the preferred choice not only for this fixture but also for India’s other matches in the tournament.
Looking further ahead to the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, the India-Pakistan encounter is expected to take place in Sri Lanka. This arrangement aligns with the tournament’s co-hosting format, where matches will be split between India and Sri Lanka.
The strategic placement of these high-profile matches reflects the careful consideration given to hosting one of cricket’s most intense rivalries, with neutral venues often being preferred for such encounters.
