Pakistan is ready to organize Team India’s matches in the Champions Trophy 2025 in one city. The Pakistan Cricket Board has spoken about the suggestion to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Pakistan is the host of the prestigious ICC tournament and has proposed Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi as the venues, with the final likely to be played in Lahore.
PCB wants to give special treatment to the Indian players, officials, and fans.
The ICC General Manager Wasim Khan recently paid a visit to Pakistan and discussed the preparations for the Champions Trophy. It was suggested that Team India’s travel itinerary be kept to a minimum,” a PCB source said.
The source further said that India might play league-stage matches in Karachi before moving to other cities for the knock-outs. The Men in Blue haven’t played in Pakistan since 2008.
In last year’s Asia Cup, Team India played its matches in Sri Lanka, while some of the matches of other countries competed in Pakistan as PCB was hosting the Continental Cup.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi is confident that all the participating teams will honor their commitments to play in the Champions Trophy.
The renovation work at different venues will start soon.
