The Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played between 19 February and 9 March, hosted by Pakistan. But ICC has not yet announced the schedule for this tournament. Actually, ICC is waiting for BCCI's decision whether it will send Team India to Pakistan or not. Let us tell you, this tournament will be played between 8 teams, which has returned after 7 years. Now the Board of Control for Cricket in India has informed the International Cricket Council about its final decision regarding the Champions Trophy 2025.

BCCI gave its decision to ICC on Champions Trophy

According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, BCCI has told the ICC that India will not go to Pakistan to participate in the 2025 Champions Trophy. BCCI has told ICC that it has been advised by the Indian government not to send the team to Pakistan. Let us tell you, due to the tense political relations between the two countries, Team India has not toured Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup. In such a situation, Team India will not go to Pakistan this time also. However, Pakistan has visited India for many ICC events including the 2023 World Cup.

Tournament can be played on hybrid model

If Team India does not tour Pakistan, this tournament can also be played on hybrid model. In such a situation, the matches against India in the 2025 Champions Trophy can be held in UAE. Earlier in 2023, the Asia Cup was also held on hybrid model. Even then the hosting was with Pakistan and Team India's matches were held in Sri Lanka. The final of the tournament was also held in Sri Lanka. At the same time, 100 days will be left for the start of this event on November 11. But after all these incidents, there may be a delay in the announcement of the schedule.
