ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan to host India clash in Lahore

Cricket fans are eagerly anticipating the ICC Champions Trophy next year, especially the high-energy showdown between Pakistan and India. According to Indian media reports, the match between the traditional rivals is scheduled for March 1, 2025, in Lahore.

In a recent conversation between the Indian media and an ICC board member, it was revealed that all matches involving the Indian cricket team are proposed to be held at a single venue in Lahore. This decision is influenced by security and logistical considerations, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) yet to approve the schedule shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

The Champions Trophy schedule, which the PCB has shared with the ICC, outlines that Group A will feature Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Group B includes England, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan. All member countries have confirmed their support to the ICC for the event.

The proposed dates for the Champions Trophy are from February 19 to March 9, 2025, with March 10 reserved as a contingency day. The BCCI’s final decision on the schedule will be made after consulting with the Indian government.

This development comes amidst positive signs from the PCB regarding the Indian team’s participation in the tournament. The PCB’s efforts to host a successful Champions Trophy and accommodate the logistical needs of all participating teams are evident in their proposed schedule.

For further updates and detailed information on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, stay tuned to official cricket channels and media outlets.
