Team India's schedule for Champions Trophy 2025 has been released. The Indian team will start its campaign from February 20 in this ICC tournament to be held in Pakistan next year. According to the schedule, Team India has to play all its matches in Lahore. However, there is still suspense about whether Team India will go to Pakistan to play the tournament. BCCI has approved India's participation in the tournament, but it is not clear whether it will play its matches in Pakistan.

Next year the Champions Trophy will be held after 7 years. The last time this tournament was held was in 2017, in which Pakistan became the winner by defeating India. In this regard, the Pakistan team will go to defend the title in its own hosting.

Team India's schedule announced!

According to reports, the schedule of Team India in Champions Trophy 2025 is as follows. According to this schedule, Team India will play its first match against Bangladesh on 20 February. After this, it will play its second match against New Zealand on 23 February. At the same time, India will play the third and last match of the group stage against the tournament host and its arch-rival Pakistan. This match will be played on March 1. All three matches of Team India will be played in Lahore.

Team India's visit to Pakistan is not decided yet

However, this schedule is still proposed. BCCI has not yet given its consent to go to Pakistan. In such a situation, it is not decided whether Team India will play its matches in Lahore or at a neutral venue. Whether Team India goes to Pakistan or not for the Champions Trophy 2025 depends entirely on the decision of the Government of India. BCCI can be seen playing the Champions Trophy in Pakistan only after getting the green signal from the government.

The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be organized in 3 cities of Pakistan - Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. But all the matches of India are to be held in Lahore. This decision has been taken keeping security in mind.
