After an eight-year hiatus, the ICC Champions Trophy is set to return in 2025. The tournament, which will comprise just eight teams divided into two groups, will be played in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates starting February 19. The host nation, Pakistan will enter the competition as the defending champions, having won the last tournament by beating India in the 2017 final.

While all matches will be held in Pakistan, India will have their fixtures staged in Dubai after BCCI failed to get clearance from the Indian government to travel to the neighbouring country amid the long-standing political tension. This implies India's progress will confirm the venue for the knockout games.

India and Pakistan, along with Bangladesh and New Zealand, are in Group A of the Champions Trophy, while Group B includes Afghanistan, England, Australia, and South Africa. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side will kick off the tournament on February 19 in Karachi.

January 12 was set by the ICC as the deadline to submit the provisional squad for the Champions Trophy, but while six teams named their 15-man team, India and Pakistan are yet to reveal their squad. The BCCI has reportedly sought an extension for the announcement amid fitness concerns over Jasprit Burmah and Kuldeep Yadav. India are expected to announce their squad on January 19.
