The Champions Trophy’s Pakistan tour began in Islamabad, where it visited landmarks such as Daman-e-Koh, Faisal Mosque, and the Pakistan Monument Museum. It also travelled to Taxila, Khanpur, Abbottabad, Murree, and Nathia Gali.
However, the ICC altered the trophy route in Pakistan, cancelling visits to Skardu, Hunza, and Muzaffarabad due to reported pressure from India.
Despite this, cricket fans across Pakistan warmly welcomed the trophy and are eagerly participating in its final showcase events in Karachi.
