Due to this big reason all the teams are boycotting

There are security reasons behind the Indian team not going to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In fact, this team last played a match in its neighboring country in 2008. After this, due to the Mumbai attacks, the Indian government never again allowed Team India to go to Pakistan and play cricket.

The reason behind Afghanistan and New Zealand not participating in the upcoming tournament is the same. An incident from the past is the biggest reason behind this. Actually, in 2009, the Sri Lankan team was playing in Pakistan. On March 3, their team bus was parked near Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, when 12 gunmen started firing bullets at them.
