India Vs Pakistan Set For Champions Trophy 2025 Group Stage? Report Sparks Excitement

The ICC has approved a USD 70 million budget for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year, with an additional USD 4.5 million for unforeseen expenses. Speculation suggests this fund may cover potential costs if India withdraws.

The ICC has approved a budget of approximately USD 70 million for the Champions Trophy scheduled to be held in Pakistan early next year. The approval came after a thorough review by the ICC’s financial and commercial committee, chaired by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. The budget, jointly prepared by the Pakistan Cricket Board and the ICC finance department, includes an additional USD 4.5 million earmarked for unforeseen expenses.

Speculation has arisen regarding the additional funds, with some suggesting that they are set aside in case India decides not to participate, necessitating the relocation of matches to alternative venues. However, sources indicate that the additional USD 4.5 million is insufficient to cover the costs of relocating games.
