Champions Trophy 2025: The 2025-edition of the Champions Trophy is set begin from February 19 at the National Stadium in Karachi where the host Pakistan takes on New Zealand. After 1996, this will the first ICC tournament which will played in Pakistan.
Security Concerns Between Two-Nations
There has been ongoing controversy between the BCCI and PCB regarding security concerns. This is one of the main reasons why India will be playing all their matches in Dubai for the upcoming event starting on February 20. Reports also suggested tension between the two boards, with the PCB making efforts to have the Indian team play in Pakistan.
However, the BCCI was reluctant to take the risk due to security issues in the country. Ultimately, the ICC opted for a hybrid model, with India playing their matches in the UAE.
